Laurent's opinion
Life is precious and your watch shows it.
Portrait of Laurent Picciotto
Description

and that's three!

On the first day of Baselworld in 2015, Laurent Picciotto, Chronopassion, was in awe of the Venturer Tourbillon Dual Time Sapphire Skeleton from H. Moser & Cie. And bought it for the sum of 1 million Swiss francs. Then in 2019 we received another unique realization, a tourbillon in a sapphire case with a dial made of real sapphires, a double sapphire in a way.

This time we asked Moser & Cie to make a Venturer Tourbillon in a sapphire case but with a Vantablack® dial, a way to approach the ultimate purity from our point of view.

This masterpiece, combining a case entirely made of sapphire and a Vantablack® concept dial,  a masterpiece in its own right.

A unique piece.

This is the case of the Venturer collection that H. Moser & Cie. is offering for the third time in an all-sapphire version. The finishing of the left-hand shapes on the sides of the case, the slenderness of the bezel, the curvature of the dial and glass, the proportions evoking the convex shapes of the 1960s: everything is there, sublimated by the transparency of sapphire. This sapphire case enhances the beauty of the self-winding HMC804 caliber.

Framed by the Venturer’s extremely thin bezel, a sapphire flange without hour markers opens wide onto the dial  Vantablack® dial. The long, tapered hands are in white gold, reminiscent of the tourbillon’s main bridge, which opens like a smile on the cage. On the reverse side, the bidirectional rotor, in solid 22-carat red gold, is also engraved and openworked.

The Venturer Tourbillon Dual Time Sapphire unique edition

Vantablack® is an unusual, daring and innovative model with a provocative design.

Never before has a tourbillon been so unconventional!

In a play of astonishing contrasts, H. Moser & Cie. is presenting the classic and traditional complication par excellence, the tourbillon, in a contemporary, light and nuanced way.
