Le Brassus-based Audemars Piguet continues to demonstrate
their strength and know-how in working with forged carbon – the only great
house with such capabilities – with this statement watch, a follow-up to their
2002 Concept Tourbillon.
Featuring an unusual combination of totally
contemporary materials, the Concept Tourbillon also experiments with the
rendition of time through the unusual chronograph minute counter, which borders
on digital representation.
Both the movement and the case are executed in
carbon, along with ceramics, titanium and eloxed aluminium. The movement is the
manual winding caliber 2895, with an amazing power reserve of 237 hours, and
the watch is water resistant to 100 meters.
