You will then be invited to select each component of your tourbillon watch, in order to assemble it yourself at the workbench. A wide range of designs and nuances awaits you, to create a fully customized timepiece.
These models were made by students for a day, or assembled as examples. Get inspired and create a timepiece that reflects your personality, because at Initium, you’re the artist!
Invented over 200 years ago by the illustrious Swiss watchmaker Abraham-Louis Breguet, this is one of the most coveted complications among collectors. A true masterpiece of miniature mechanics, the tourbillon alone symbolizes the incredible ingenuity of the art of watchmaking.
