Poljot International, Germany Tourbillon 3400.XVIII Silver

A tourbillon is a legend among watches, renowned for its exceptional accuracy. This revolutionary mechanism was developed in 1795 by Abraham-Louis Breguet and has since significantly influenced the world of watchmaking.

During that century, not only the tourbillon technology was developed by Breguet, but many other innovations and discoveries were also made. Therefore, this tourbillon is dedicated not only to the inventor of the tourbillon but also to the century itself, which witnessed numerous groundbreaking discoveries. This watch embodies a symbiosis of tradition, innovation, and the spirit of discovery of that era.

The 3400.PTS movement was chosen as the perfect match, featuring the essential functions of hour, minute, and second, along with the striking tourbillon cage prominently positioned at 6 o’clock. The seconds are displayed via Poljot-International’s innovative “tourbillon bridge,” designed in the shape of an arrow. The movement’s bridges are adorned with Geneva stripes and accented with blued screws. The power reserve of the fully wound movement is at least 72 hours, allowing the watch to be wound only every three days.

The simple yet high-quality dial is made of brass, first brushed with a sunburst finish and then colorcoated. The classically designed hour markers are applied as indices on the dial. Time is indicated by central hour and minute hands, while the seconds are visualized by the arrow on the tourbillon bridge. The elegant case, with a diameter of 42 mm, is slightly smaller than other tourbillons by Poljot-International. With a height of just 9.5 mm without the top glass and 12.47 mm with the domed sapphire crystal, it is perfectly sized to fit nearly any wrist. The three-part case is finished in two styles: the top bezel and the case back are polished, while the midsection is brushed, creating a contrasting side view that makes the case appear visually slimmer.

The entire design is meticulously crafted down to the smallest detail, resulting in a harmonious and refined appearance. The limited edition of 100 pieces for each of the four versions of this watch adds a special allure. With an excellent price-performance ratio, this offers every watch enthusiast the unique opportunity to acquire one of these high-quality models. Now, almost anyone can own a tourbillon!
