Skeleton Tourbillon Tonneau — Black Carbon, Orange Strap
BLACK THIN-PLY CARBON · ABOUT 8.5MM THICK · SKELETON TOURBILLON
About 8.5 mm, And It Slides Under A Cuff
An open dial and a tourbillon-style cage, in a case thinner than most everyday steel watches.
Skeleton watches with this much going on in the dial tend to be thick. Every wheel and bridge has to fit somewhere, and usually it ends up in the height of the case.
This one is about 8.5 mm from the crystal to the back. The tonneau is curved underneath to follow the wrist, so it sits down flat instead of perching on top, and a shirt cuff goes over it without snagging on an edge.
The weight helps as much as the height. The one-piece case is thin-ply carbon rather than steel, and the whole watch, strap included, comes to about 38 grams. It is easy to forget you are wearing it, right up until someone asks about it.
THE CASE
Black Carbon With Grey Grain Running Through It
The streaks are the layers of the carbon, laid open where the case was cut.
Turn the case in the light and the black is not flat. Grey-silver streaks run through it in long, wavering lines, closer to the grain of dark wood than to any printed pattern.
They are the layers. Thin-ply carbon is built from very fine sheets pressed and cured together, and when the case is machined out of the block, the cutter passes through them at an angle and lays their edges open. Where the surface curves, the lines bend with it.
No two blocks cut exactly alike, so the streaks on your case will fall a little differently from the ones in the photographs. The shape, the eight exposed screws and the two teardrop-shaped recesses at each end are the same on every one; the grain is yours.
How A Black Carbon Tonneau Comes Together
The grain is set by the layers, and the layers are set before the case is cut.
Thin Sheets
Very fine sheets of carbon fibre are laid one on another until the stack is deep enough to hold a case.
Pressed And Cured
The stack is pressed and cured under heat until the layers set into one solid block.
Cut Through The Grain
The case is machined from the block in one piece. Wherever the cutter crosses the layers, the grey-silver streaks appear.
The Open Dial
The skeleton movement goes in behind a thin polished frame: rose-gold wheel at the upper left, pink jewels, and the tourbillon-style cage at six.
Orange Last
The ribbed orange crown and the woven orange strap go on at the end, and every watch is checked by hand before it is boxed.
2-Year Warranty. 30-Day Refund.
Wear it for a month. If it is not what you expected, send it back for a full refund — no conditions, no restocking fee.

Before You Buy
Frequently Asked Questions
How thin is it?
How thin is it?
About 8.5 mm from the crystal to the back. The case is curved underneath, so it sits flat on the wrist and goes under a shirt cuff without catching.
Is the case painted black?
Is the case painted black?
No. It is black thin-ply carbon, and the grey-silver streaks are the edges of its layers, laid open where the case was cut. They fall a little differently on every case, so yours will not match the photographs exactly.
Where is the orange?
Where is the orange?
In two places: the ribbed crown and the woven strap. The rest of the watch is black carbon, polished silver, rose gold and six bright pink jewels.
What is the cage at six o'clock?
What is the cage at six o'clock?
It is the tourbillon-style cage the watch is named for — the style is known as a flying tourbillon. What you see is a large round cage inside a ring of fine silver teeth, crossed by an open rose-gold triangle with a pink jewel at its centre. Questions about the movement before you order? Message us and a person will answer.
Does it need a battery?
Does it need a battery?
No. It is automatic and winds from the motion of your wrist. Left off for a couple of days it stops, and a minute back on the wrist restarts it.
How does the strap fasten?
How does the strap fasten?
One end passes through a matte black loop, and the strap folds back on itself and closes with a black hook-and-loop fastening. There are no holes and no pin buckle, so you can set it to exactly the fit you want.
How long does delivery take?
How long does delivery take?
Ten to eighteen days to most countries, fifteen to twenty-five inside Iraq. Shipping is free, tracked and insured, and you get the tracking number as soon as it leaves us.
