The first Biver Watches and Bucherer collaboration has resulted in a unique piece: The Carillon Tourbillon set with graded blue sapphires, Reference PRF-10799. This extraordinary new masterpiece is a mechanical wonder that epitomizes the pinnacle of horological craftsmanship and artistic ingenuity.
Exclusively designed for Bucherer, this exceptional minute repeater is crafted in white gold, and is adorned with an array of stunning sapphires totalling 30.52 carats in various hues. The intricate arrangement of concave gems transcends traditional gem settings, serving as a homage to the art itself.
This timepiece features a carillon-type minute repeater that comprises three gongs and hammers, adding a layer of complexity to its functionality. The automatic movement is further enhanced by a platinum micro-rotor, while the micro-rotor’s decorative plate is crafted in rose gold.
The movement is meticulously circular-grained on both sides. Meanwhile, the bridges, visible at the back, are made of white gold with a grained finish and one has the JCB seal on them. The tourbillon is crowned with a white gold bridge, adding to its elegance.
With 196 re-entrant angles, 44 jewels, and a 72-hour power reserve, the watch’s technical specifications are as impressive as its aesthetics. The front and back are protected by sapphire crystal, ensuring both durability and clarity. The watch has a blue stingray leather strap with a white gold folding clasp, gold pin and buckle set with 10 blue sapphires equalling 1.55 carats.
