Reaping the whirlwind: Bianchet Flying Tourbillon Sport GMT

For watch enthusiasts seeking a unique blend of cutting-edge design and technical prowess, Bianchet is a name worth knowing. This young Swiss brand, founded in 2017 by a passionate couple, Rodolfo and Emmanuelle Festa Bianchet, who share a passion for watches and a love for modern aesthetics, is making waves with their luxury timepieces.

Tourbillon Takes Center Stage: Bianchet doesn’t shy away from complexity. Their speciality is the tourbillon, a mesmerising watchmaking marvel that cancels out the effects of gravity on a watch’s accuracy. Their tonneau-shaped cases, a modern twist on a classic form, house stunning dials often crafted from carbon fibre composite. But beneath the modern flair lies a subtle nod to tradition. The golden ratio, a mathematical principle linked to beauty and balance, influences the watch’s proportions.

Limited Edition Exclusivity: Unlike established brands with vast collections, Bianchet focuses on meticulous craftsmanship. Their current offerings included two models – the Tourbillon 1.618 and the Flying Tourbillon Grande Date B1.618. However, their latest release, the Bianchet Flying Tourbillon Sport GMT, at the Beau-Rivage Hotel in Geneva from 9 to 13 April 2024, promises a new level of sophistication for the jet-setting watch aficionado.
