Luxembourg based haute horlogerie brand Duke presents Clarity Tourbillon, an exclusive horological marvel created by Manufacture Grand-Ducale in the Swiss Jura Valley.
Limited to 8 pieces, Clarity Tourbillon watch is driven by an in-house caliber, the 9600. Its oscillating weight is made of sapphire crystal, enabling the unobstructed view of the entire movement from case-back side.
Beating at 21,600 vibrations per hour (3 Hertz), this self-winding mechanical tourbillon movement offers a power reserve of 72 hours.
Boasting a stunning design with a 100-degree opening with softened edges and a floating tourbillon cage, this new timepiece offers a new perspective to the prestigious horological complication invented by Abraham-Louis Breguet 200 years ago.
The “DUKE Clarity Tourbillon” First Edition comes with an octagonal shaped case. Its case structure and its bottom flanks are made of titanium-carbon fiber, while its bezel, including the lugs, as well as its case back and its crown are made of Grade 5 Titanium.
This exclusive timepiece by Duke Horlogerie encompasses fine watchmaking finishes like hand-beveling, polished-mirror effects, reliefs made of alternating grained, sun-brushed or shot-blasted surfaces.
