SIHH 2012 Spotlight: Roger Dubuis Pulsion Flying Tourbillon

After an exciting week in watch developments, the 2012 SIHH will be drawing to a close at 8:30 this evening in Geneva. Our last spotlight is going to be on the new Pulsion collection from Roger Dubuis, in particular the beautiful new Flying Tourbillon Skeleton in titanium. Besides the flying tourbillon that Roger Dubuis always excels at, one of the most unique features about this watch is that the crystal is screwed directly into the case and doubles as a bezel. The Arabic numerals have also been engraved directly under the crystal and filled with a luminescent material. It’s the most multi-taksing crystal we’ve ever seen.

This watch combines two of Roger Dubuis trademarks, the contemporary flying skeleton movement and the differential flying tourbillon. The highly complicated and modern Pulsion collection was designed to fit into the theme of the “adventurer.” Like all of Roger Dubuis’ watches, the movement for this watch is marked with the “Poinçon de Genève” which certifies that the watch meets up to rigid standards of operation and that the movement has been created by hand.
