Purnell Escape II Yellow Ceramized Titanium Unique Piece

Welcome the vibrant summer vibes, the World’s Fastest Double Triple Axis Tourbillon is now available in a 48mm yellow ceramized titanium case. The citrus color is also found on the hand painted hour indexes, hands and power reserve indication. 

The mesmerizing motion of the Spherion is reinforced by the explosive yellow covering the outer tourbillon cages rotating in 30 seconds while the secondary cage rotates in 16 seconds and the inner cage in 8 seconds. Both Spherion are revolving in the opposite direction thanks to a differential system created by genius watchmaker Eric Coudray for Purnell.

Start summer right with Purnell’s citrus yellow color Escape II—a boost of vitamins on your wrist.
