Release of the inner dragon

Creating a 3D dragon that seems to glide under the watch’s arms and between the plains of the transmission and the X’s construction presented significant challenges. During the two years of the development process, this included designing this unique watch face and customizing the design of the case, bezel, and glass crystal Blast Tourbillon for this unique creation.

Production of the UN-172

Boldly structured behind a dragon and skeletonized dial, the production mechanism of the Blast Tourbillon, Calibre UN-172, is as unorthodox as it is ingenious.

Designing the future

According to traditional Chinese culture, 2024 marks the Year of the Dragon. These revered creatures symbolize strength, strength, and luck. They are often associated with pearls, which represent purity, wisdom, and wealth. When these two symbols come together, as in countless fairy tales, they signify a harmonious combination of power, providence, and prosperity.
