It Is Time Now!

It is time for me to share my latest, personal watch choice with you all. This new Parmigiani Fleurie is the time piece of my desire. The Type 370 Buggatti has been in development as long as the 1000-hp Bugatti Veyron that it's supposed to complement. But while the Veyron is still mired in high-speed testing,the Bugatti watch is available now! This first attempt at moving away from classical watchmaking, the Bugatti is innovative primarily in its linear architecture made of a succession of bridges. A sort of ‘motor block’ to wear on the wrist, Bugatti aligns the balance, gear train, double barrel and the display in somewhat the same manner as certain historical pieces and marine chronometers. This astonishing transversal movement, in which the screws have been replaced by hexagonal nuts, rests entirely on silent blocks. Sapphire crystals of a rare complexity allow the viewer to see the movement from above and from the side. To wind the watch or adjust the time, one uses a surprising pen-starter, which alone is worth a second look. It is inserted in two minute openings situated under the watch. The energy is transmitted to the watch via a clutch mechanism, a spherical differential and conic gears. Inside the pen-starter, one discovers barrels in series, a differential that regulates the force, a liquid-silicone chamber designed to amortize the speed of winding, and a dynamometer that controls it all. The watch has ten days of autonomy. The first Bugatti watch was delivered to noted car fanatic Ralph Lauren earlier this year. Fifty each will be available in each of three colours. Remember - If you need to ask for the price; You can't afford it! Parmigiani Fleurier
