ATELIERS DE MONACO
TOURBILLON – OCULUS 1297 ONLY WATCH

Its patented tourbillon movement called Tourbillon XP1 (eXtreme Precision 1 minute) is one of the most precise in the world with a tolerance between 0 to 2 seconds per 24 hours.
Model name: Tourbillon – Oculus 1297 Only Watch
Case: Carbon fiber and 18k gold, ultralight titanium core
Dial: Multi-layer, decentered dial with Roman numerals, dark grey PVD, lozenge pattern in relief, tourbillon opening at 6 o'clock

Bracelet: Alligator leather "Nubucké" finishing, 18k rose gold and titanium folding buckle

Specificities: A major innovation for this timepiece is its 44 mm watch case made from a technique used in the automotive industry called forged carbon. For this timepiece, Ateliers deMonaco developed a new method including gold in the process: carbon fiber, gold and resin are mixed together and placed in a mould. The mixture is then heated and pressed to form a block. After the moulding process, the case is meticulously refined to achieve the perfect shape. Thanks to this exclusive method, the case becomes unique.
