Manero Tourbillon Double Peripheral

Beyond the dial, attention is drawn to the eye-catching bezel. It contains 40 baguette-cut gemstones – either 5.1-carat sapphires, 4.7-carat tsavorites or 3.5-carat amethysts, depending on the model – each naturally occurring and colored. Hand-selected, these match the color of the dial – in itself a stunning feat of achievement and a stand-out design feature that adds to the watch’s exuberant feel.

A finely tailored hand-stitched strap, also color-matched to the dial and bezel, has been created from recycled PET, emphasizing CFB’s environmental awareness and the importance of integrating sustainable materials throughout its portfolio. Each timepiece is constructed within an 18 K rose gold case – a color chosen for its contemporary elegance – complemented by rose-gold-plated hands.

“The T3000 movement is one of CFB’s crowning glories. The peripheral mounting of two such intricate complications is astonishing from a mechanical perspective – and allows for an unobscured view of the movement through the case back – while the floating appearance of our tourbillon lends the piece an unbelievable, almost magical quality.”

The movement boasts outstanding accuracy. Comprising 189 individual parts, it includes a balance wheel regulated by eccentric screws, or masselottes, that oscillates at a frequency of 3 hertz, or 21,600 beats per hour, while the escapement is made from silicon, reducing friction, allowing the system to operate without lubrication, and increasing the power reserve. A further distinctive feature is the stop-seconds function, which allows for the rotation of the tourbillon cage to be stopped. This means the watch can be synchronized with a standard time and thus set to the second.
