Bianchet Flying Tourbillon Sport GMT

Bianchet unveils its latest watch creation, the Flying Tourbillon Sport GMT. Designed for globetrotters, and adapted to a dynamic lifestyle, this watch embodies the very essence of refinement. Fusing timeless design with cutting-edge performance and centuries-old craftsmanship, this timepiece perfectly balances aesthetics and technology.

The Flying Tourbillon Sport GMT results from the desire to create a harmonious, elegant, and timeless watch while rising to the technical challenge of combining high performance and Haute Horlogerie expertise. Built based on the golden ratio, it offers a balanced and modern design, enhanced by sophisticated color accents, and represents the perfect fusion of timeless aesthetics and cutting-edge performance.

Specially designed for travelers, the Flying Tourbillon Sport GMT allows simultaneous reading of two time zones: local time and reference time. Equipped with a flying tourbillon movement in titanium, manufactured and hand assembled by Bianchet in Switzerland, this watch is distinguished by its lightness, ergonomics, and high resistance to shocks and water resistance (5000Gs and 10 ATM). It offers the opportunity to practice sports and nautical activities without renouncing refinement.

A 24-hour GMT dial, adorned with a captivating rotating globe synchronized with the hour hand, symbolizes the perpetual rotation of the earth. Thanks to an intuitive function selector indicating the position of the crown, winding, setting the local time, and the reference time, is simplified. With a power reserve of 90 hours, this watch guarantees flawless reliability.

The Flying Tourbillon Sport GMT demonstrates centuries-old watchmaking expertise, highlighting the know-how and meticulousness invested in its realization. The flying tourbillon, designed to neutralize the force of gravity, seems to float at the heart of the movement. The impeccable finishes on titanium reflect the light with unique reflections, in particular the meticulously hand-polished bevel edges, giving a perfectly flat and smooth surface, bears the signature of age-old watchmaking gestures. The hour indicators, made of luminescent technical material, are placed by hand, and the lacquer decorations enhancing the contrasts on the crown and the tourbillon cage are carefully hand-applied with a paintbrush.

The 43 mm barrel-shaped case is hand-finished and waterproof to a depth of 100 meters. Available in two versions of materials, including Titanium-Dust-High-Density Carbon and titanium, it is paired with a vulcanized natural rubber strap with a titanium folding clasp. This ultramodern watch is available in 6 color options with two straps included (one black and one colorful), each offering a unique, sporty, and sophisticated look.

The Flying Tourbillon Sport GMT shows our passion for exceptional tourbillon watches adapted to the lifestyle of today's globetrotters," say Bianchet’s founders. "We are pleased to present this new timepiece with its unique technical characteristics, which will accompany our customers on their journeys around the world."

The Flying Tourbillon Sport GMT will be exclusively presented at the Beau-Rivage Hotel in Geneva from 9 to 13 April 2024.
