Bovet 1822 – Virtuoso AIT

Well named, the Virtuoso tourbillon combines technicality and aesthetics with rare virtuosity. The caliber is integrated in a revisited Amadeo case, with a more sensual curve and a convertibility system with a pusher integrated into the crown, it displays, on the same axis, a jumping hour with instantaneous jump, retrograde minutes and a 5 days power reserve. The readability and finesse of the whole could make us forget the complexity of the construction. The tourbillon mechanism, which occupies the lower half of the dial, is characterized by a balance wheel with three blued masses – based on the aesthetics of the Rising Star tourbillon –, an escape wheel connected to its axis by two curved arms instead of four straight and a shank anchor inspired by those of the in-house pocket watches of the second half of the 19th century.

Thanks to its Amadeo system, the Virtuoso tourbillon presents a second face with reversed handing which displays the hours and minutes in the traditional way, with hands. The bridges around the dial are hand engraved, despite a limited surface by the skeletonized architecture of the movement.
