Lot Essay

The ingenious and unusual design of the 7-Day Carrousel Tourbillon allows its owner to set and wind the watch without a crown and enables him to read time without preserving the design of traditional hands. It is also the first timepiece ever produced featuring an escapement etched out of polycrystalline cultured diamond. This material neither expands nor contracts and is free from electric and magnetic influences.
