DUKE by Vianney Halter, a Limited Edition of 8 pieces, is not only a simple collaboration, it means much more for DUKE's founder, as the Master Watchmaker Vianney Halter is his
mentor.
After the success of the FIRST EDITION, they together imagined the evolution of the Clarity Tourbillon.
Nothing, not even the hands.
For this reason we decided to develop a Jumping Hour and a Reversity Minute (Retrograde).
These new complications were added to the Clarity Tourbillon and the Invisible Rotor (automatic) and assembled in the instantly recognizable watchcase.
The dial testifies unrivalled attention to detail. Made of a slightly transparent Smoked Sapphire to let appear the exclusive watch mechanism, the dial is decorated with solid
18K Rose Gold appliques (logo, guichet and numbers).
Each applique delicately placed one after the other by hand. A solid 18k Rose Gold chapter ring, with a minimalist minute track, fulfills the dial.
The complex reversity minute hand, openworked, is made of Titanium Grade 5 due to technical purposes of the retro-jump.
The main plate and the bridges are entirely hand beveled (anglage main), microblasted and finally black PVD treated.
The screws are mirror polished (black polished) and all the other components, without exception, are hand decorated.
