BLACK HOLE TOURBILLON TITANIUM
THE ORIGINS OF VANGUART
THE BLACKHOLE APPROACHES THE LANDSCAPE OF FUTURISM WHILE
EVOKING A SENSE OF WONDER AND POSSIBILITY.
The sweeping lines of the case flow seamlessly, complex geometries are conveyed with grace and fluidity, and every detail has been treated with care, craft and consideration. There are no visible screws or pins, which further pushes the organic aesthetic. The final result is a flowing design
that was created in absolute coordination with its next generation highly engaging tourbillon mechanism.
Developed and created entirely in-house by the Vanguart team, caliber T-1701 features a central flying tourbillon that appears to be levitating above a purely 21st century animated dial. The time is indicated by a linear time display with the hour and minutes each having their own concentric dial that border the tourbillon. The setting of the watch is where the beautiful ingenuity of Vanguart is on full display. A highly ergonomic joystick-type setting system replaces a traditional crown and allows the user to advance and reverse the time in a highly engaging and tactile way. Time simply flows forward and backward with the Blackhole with the slightest pressure.
Over 750 components comprise this groundbreaking movement which has set the stage for the future of Vanguart mechanisms: technologically advanced, always engaging and placing User Interface into the equation, designed with refined beauty and hand-decorated entirely throughout.
