This JULES VERNE tourbillon “under the sea” is absolutely unique.  At the centre of the dial is a  a unique opal, handcrafted and revealing a unique pattern. The central disc is set in a peripheral guilloché.  Its opal dial flashing rainbow hues, invites us to immerse ourselves into pelagic depths. The oceanic feel of the JULES VERNE tourbillon “UNDER THE SEA” is enhanced by the peripheral barleycorn guilloché coated with a royal blue translucid varnish.

The JULES VERNE tourbillon features an off-centre flying tourbillon that defies gravity. The hand-wound mechanism has a double barrel spring. The system, known as volte-face, has one barrel mounted upside down over the other. They discharge their energy simultaneously, delivering a power reserve of ninety-six hours.

This exceptional work of art comes in a 40-millimetre  rose gold and titanium case,  with a power reserve of  96 hrs. The openworked lugs underscore the integration of the strap.
