Swiss watchmaking brand Hysek is treading the manufacture path this year with the Abyss Tourbillon. This is the first watch from the brand to feature an in-house designed and executed movement.

Long a leading horological design firm, Hysek now aspires to directly execute more of its own astounding designs. Limited to 30 pieces, the Abyss Tourbillon features an exposed movement but, to the credit of Hysek, they do not call this a skeleton watch.

In fact, no classic finishing (snailing, anglage etc) is present on the movement, leaving it highly contemporary indeed. Note the unusual shape of the tourbillon bridges and the ‘H’ inserts in the strap.
