This Tourbillon, which is entirely handcrafted and made in 18-carat gold, is suspended in a case of sapphires and therefore seems to float in space.It is a piece full of poetry, the purity and esthetics of which transcend its mechanical and technical complexities.When Jacques Piguet, who at the time was the owner of Frédéric replica Rolex 168622-GYSO watch Piguet SA and Blancpain SA, discovered this watch, he asked Vincent Calabrese to create a Tourbillon for Blancpain.This Tourbillon is one of the most beautiful watches ever made.Vincent Calabrese has now decided to expand his creative opportunities and production facilities by selling the company Vica Sàrl to Blancpain SA.
The Vincent Calabrese brand name as well as the facilities, developments and patents will pass into the ownership of Blancpain SA.Vincent Calabrese, an artisan watchmaker of extraordinary talent, will join the team at Blancpain managed by replica Rolex 116234BKRSJ Men's watch Marc A.Hayek, Managing Director, and become a member of the Executive Management Board.This will allow him to focus exclusively on research and the realization of unique projects for Blancpain.
Earlier this week we showed you Zenith's new "double bubble" Christophe Colomb wristwatch that features an escapement on Corum 106.404.47/0010PM5 Men's watch gimbals, much like a marine chronometer.Today we came across some live images and even a video of this "nothing if not a conversation starter" watch on the PuristSPro.Check out the video below and click here for more images and review.
