Master Horologer 2023 - Backes & Strauss Berkeley King Titan Tourbillon

 

BACKES & STRAUSS BERKELEY KING TITAN TOURBILLON

The newly released Backes & Strauss Berkeley King Titan watch boasts a custom tourbillon, prominently displayed through the cutaway dial.

This exceptional complication watch in titanium is an addition to the previously released bespoke Piccadilly 45 King Tourbillon and Berkeley King Tourbillon 43 collections.

This tourbillon is adorned with Backes & Strauss’ distinctive arrow motif, drawing inspiration from the Hearts & Arrows pattern seen when examining an Ideal Cut diamond through a special loupe.

The elegant white mother-of-pearl dial is embellished with seven baguette-cut diamonds serving as hour markers, accompanied by a total of 116 white Ideal Cut diamonds.

The open case back reveals the automatic tourbillon movement, complete with an engraved London skyline on the rotor. The remaining parts of the movement are adorned with a total of 184 white Ideal Cut diamonds. All of this is housed within a lightweight, polished titanium case measuring 43mm in diameter.
