Oh, the things you see at Geneva Watch Days! HAUTLENCE, the maverick of watchmaking, has once again blown our collective minds with the unveiling of the Vagabonde Tourbillon Series 4 and 5. It’s not just about telling time anymore; it’s about reliving every single second with flair and artistry.
Picture this: you wake up in a world where time dances. A gentle choreography of wandering hours plays out against a central minute disc. The centerpiece, a flying tourbillon at six o’clock, turns every second into an extravagant spectacle. Add a touch of artistic provocation with installations by Via Lewandowsky, and you’ve got yourself a horological masterpiece that blurs the lines between time and art.
The Vagabonde Tourbillon Series nestles comfortably in HAUTLENCE’s iconic rectangular cases. They’re not just tough (with a 10 ATM water resistance) but also a feast for the eyes, swathed in midnight blue PVD finishing. It’s like wearing a little slice of the night sky on your wrist, complimented by white rubber straps that add a splash of light against dark.
Inside, the D30 automatic movement keeps things ticking. This isn’t just any movement, it flaunts a double hairspring flying tourbillon bringing mechanics and magic together to guarantee a whopping 72-hour power reserve. Each element, from the minute details of the dial to the meticulous polishing of the case, sings HAUTLENCE’s rebellion against the ordinary rules of watchmaking.
But as HAUTLENCE reminds us, these timepieces are only partly about technology; they’re also about the experience. And what better way to showcase this than through an artistic collaboration with Via Lewandowsky at Geneva’s Beau-Rivage Hotel? It’s where the worlds of contemporary art and timekeeping collide, interact, and reflect on each other.
