The mustaches

The Mustaches of Mr. Gerald Charles Genta are reproduced in the tourbillon bridge. Quite unconventionally the bridge is made of polished stainless steel, a material rarely used for manufacturing such small components due to its typical hardness to mold.

The case, in 18K white gold, presents a convexity at 6 o’clock that creates a dedicated space for the one-minute Tourbillon. This perfectly integrates mechanics and aesthetics. The hand-finished skeleton movement is visible in its full depth, through sapphire crystals, from all angles.

Two large barrels are perfectly integrated with the see-through bridges and are spinning during manual winding. The Maestro.97 was produced in a limited edition of 25 pieces only. It is now preserved in the Maison’s private collection.
