Five years ago, Ateliers deMonaco proudly announced the launch of its in house developed Grand Tourbillon Xtreme Precision, regulated to have a tolerance between 0-2 seconds/24H, and making it one of the most precise Tourbillons in the world!
To commemorate and celebrate this milestone, we will enhance our line-up this year with a new and visually equally impact full member in our Tourbillon family: the Grand Tourbillion Xtreme Precision Oculus Petite Minute.
An oculus denotes a circular opening in an otherwise solid dome or wall originating out of the Byzantine and neoclassical architecture that allowed light to come through and subsequently would naturally draw the attention to this opening of light. It is also known as an “oeil de boeuf” in French or simply a “bull’s-eye“. Given the sapphire bridge holds our 60 seconds Tourbillon’s cage as the bull’s eye of the further solid and more classical looking Côtes de Geneve decorated dial, we only felt it natural to call this our Oculus!
Furthermore, now we finalized the consolidation of our supply chain and manufacturing in our new state-ofthe- art Atelier located in Geneva Switzerland, we have been able to improve both efficiencies as well as further strengthen and safeguard all quality aspects, culminating in the label “Swiss Made” that all our timepieces will be proudly carrying as of now.
