The fascination of Mr. Raffy as a collector for decorative arts, and an uncompromising luxury watchmaking definition, inspired the development of the Virtuoso X Tourbillon timepiece. The Virtuoso X timepiece features the patented flying-tourbillon, it has ten days power reserve using only a single barrel, while presenting three distinct time zones. The local time is indicated in the centre of the dial, as well as on an eccentric dial on its reverse side. The two secondary time zones are harmoniously displayed on a horizontal axis on the front side of the timepiece. They indicate the time of the cities chosen by the collector. It features a curved hour hand displaying the time on a 24-hour scale.

In the centre of each secondary dual time is a hand-painted hemispherical globe of the Earth. On the upper part of the two time zones is displayed the name of the city corresponding to the time zone. A clever combination of correctors allows summer and winter time to be taken into account for each of the 24 time zones.

The Virtuoso X Tourbillon features unrivalled levels of personalisation and finishes. The collector will have the opportunity to bespoke the names of the cities for each of the 24 timezones.

From the very beginning of development, watchmakers, artisans, engravers and miniature painters have joined forces and worked together to bring perfectly balanced timepieces to life.

The back side face of the Virtuoso X Tourbillon timepiece combines the talent of the artisans with the virtuosity of the engravers. The first master artisans manufactured a flinqué dial in the purest tradition of the cabin makers of the 18th and 19th centuries. The second artisans fully engraved the movement with the « Fleurisanne » motif, already known at the dawn of the 19th century by the BOVET brothers. The depth of the engraving is remarkable and the motif goes through the bridges of the movement without any interruption, it offers a dazzling contrast to the dial for incredible readability.

Also, the “guilloché laqué” on the front side of the dial features a half-moon shape. The two globes of the second and third time zones are hand-painted highlighting the mastery of the miniature painters who work in three dimensions. In the Ateliers BOVET, innovation is part of the tradition. The hand-painted globes are illuminated in the dark by an exclusive process that the Bovet brothers would not have denied.
