THE OFFICIAL WATCH BUYER'S GUIDE - Elite Traveler

pierre kunz
The art deco style defines many aspects of Pierre Kunz’s designs, and the watchmaker recently dedicated an entire series of timepieces to the
aesthetic.

In the Exclusive Series Tourbillon, Pierre Kunz’s famous square tourbillon movement is housed in a most unusual square, fluted Empire-style case.
An opening in the dial reveals the tourbillon cage and square balance—which was acclaimed as a world first in 2005. The dial itself is also enchanting
thanks to its sun-brushed surface that creates a metallic effect around the tourbillon at 6 o’clock. The applied hour numerals have been styled
to recall clocks of the art deco era, while the hands are calibrated on the principles of the time period’s architecture. Turn the timepiece over to see
the fine craftsmanship within the skeleton bridge and its art deco engravings. The watch has a power reserve of 70 hours, and comes on a matching
hand-stitched crocodile strap. $112,400
VARiAtionS
The 41-mm case is available in 18K white gold, 5N red gold or platinum, and the watch’s hands may be blued, silvered or 5N red gold gilded.
