Carl F. Bucherer (CFB) has unveiled a bold and vibrant new chapter for the Manero Tourbillon Double Peripheral collection. These three limited-edition timepieces showcase the brand’s unwavering commitment to technical excellence while simultaneously embracing a resolutely contemporary aesthetic.
A Match Made in Haute Horlogerie Heaven
Each of the 18 unique timepieces features a complex CFB manufacture movement, boasting a peripherally mounted automatic winding system and a peripherally mounted tourbillon. This technical marvel is housed within an 18K rose gold case, creating a sophisticated backdrop for the innovative laser-cut dial and its matching gemstone-encrusted bezel.
A Symphony of Color: Sapphire Blue, Emerald Green, and Amethyst Majesty
The three colorways available – a striking sapphire blue, a refreshing emerald green, and a luxurious amethyst purple – represent CFB’s recent exploration of color and its embrace of modern design. These high-saturation hues imbue the timepieces with a unique energy, perfect for watch aficionados who enjoy expressing their individuality.
Technical Prowess with a Playful Touch: The Three-Dimensional Guilloche Dial
The craftsmanship extends beyond the color choices. The dials boast a captivating three-dimensional guilloche effect, achieved through a meticulous laser-patterning technique. This intricate process creates formations of miniature pyramids on the curved surface, resulting in a visually mesmerizing display. Further enriching the visual appeal, the 11 indices are adorned with 0.6-carat VVS baguette-cut diamonds.
A Bezel Fit for Royalty: Matching Gemstone Extravaganza
The captivating bezel complements the dial perfectly. Depending on the model, it features 40 baguette-cut gemstones – either dazzling sapphires, mesmerizing tsavorites, or captivating amethysts. Each gemstone is meticulously hand-selected to ensure a flawless match with the dial color, creating a truly standout design element.
Sustainable Luxury: A Marriage of Style and Responsibility
Sustainability remains a key focus for CFB. The watches are completed with a hand-stitched strap crafted from recycled PET material, a testament to the brand’s commitment to environmental responsibility.
The Power Within: The CFB T3000 Manufacture Caliber
The beating heart of each timepiece is the CFB T3000 manufacture caliber, a marvel of in-house design, development, and assembly. Launched in 2018, it holds the distinction of being the first movement to incorporate both a peripheral automatic winding system and a peripherally mounted floating tourbillon. This technical feat ensures an unobstructed view of the movement through the case back, while the tourbillon’s seemingly weightless construction adds a touch of magic to the timepiece.
Exceptional Performance: Precision Meets Efficiency
The CFB T3000 caliber is not just about aesthetics; it delivers exceptional performance. This intricate mechanism, comprised of 189 parts, boasts a balance wheel that oscillates at 21,600 beats per hour, ensuring outstanding accuracy. Furthermore, the escapement is crafted from silicon, minimizing friction and maximizing power reserve. The stop-seconds function allows for precise time setting, making this a true timekeeping marvel.
The Manero Tourbillon Double Peripheral represents the culmination of Carl F. Bucherer‘s Manero family – a collection renowned for functionality, innovation, and contemporary design. These limited-edition models are a testament to CFB’s ability to blend heritage with cutting-edge technology, all while catering to the discerning tastes of today’s urban explorers.
