This hand-produced pattern is in himself an outstanding achievement for any craftsman. But the really eye-catching exploit for any connoisseur is that for the first time in watchmaking, it is engraved in grade 5 titanium.

This material is already used in watchmaking – for its hardness. So engraving patterns on it is counter-intuitive, to say the least. And that was precisely the approach that attracted Yvan Arpa: “titanium is sold to us as an absolute, the epitome of toughness: resistant to impacts, corrosion, temperature, and so on. In actual fact, it’s simply a little more resistant than the reference materials we have always been used to, such as steel. And instead of machining it clinically, it can be worked with to produce a piece of art – as I have now demonstrated.”

Engraved out of Titanium Grade 5, more usually renowned for its outstanding hardness. The floral motifs draw inspiration from foliage pattern on historic gun stocks that inspired Yvan Arpa. The flying Tourbillon made especially for this shape by MHC for ArtyA has, as well, incredible back bridges in arabesque shape. The really eye-catching exploit for any connoisseur is that it is engraved in grade 5 titanium.

The watch is engraved with “Pièce Unique – 1/1”, and fitted with a hand-engraved tang buckle on a full-skin crocodile strap.
