Overview

Black ceramic and red gold around the RM17-02 tourbillon

An RM 17-02 Tourbillon in black ceramic, with red gold showing on the case flanks and capping the black crown, on a black strap. Through the open dial, blue bridges and red gold-toned wheels frame the tourbillon at 6 o’clock, read against yellow Arabic numerals.

The calibre RM17-02 is a manual winding tourbillon that runs for around 70 hours. A scale at 2 o’clock shows the power reserve. At 4 o’clock, in the manner of a car’s gearbox, a function indicator shows winding, neutral or hand-setting as the crown is pulled out.
