Clarity Tourbillon &
DUKE FIRST EDITION is the brand's inaugural watch, a Limited Edition of 8 timepieces.
The watch exhibits proudly a strong identity that lays the foundations of an emerging brand.
The DUKE Timepiece first
catches the eye with its instantly
recognizable character,
with hardly any curves.
Made of Titanium Grade 5 and a specially
developed Carbon Fiber infused with Titanium,
the case is entirely
hand polished.
The Timepiece captures the imagination and drags you into the inner workings
The Caliber 9600 signifies DUKE's debut movement.
Introducing the Clarity Tourbillon and the Invisible Rotor, revolutionizing automatic watches. With both complications DUKE achieved to create a strong distinctive watch movement limited to only 8 examples. All DUKE timepieces are entirely decorated by hand.
The dial testifies sobriety and attention to detail. Made of sapphire,
It is microblasted then hand painted to make it opaque and avoid mirror effect. The DUKE signature appliques at their center are in 18k White Gold, each letter delicately placed one after the other by hand.
The complex hands, openworked, and the chapter ring, featuring a discreet minute track, are both in
mirror polished 18k White Gold.
