SpotlightTime And Space Traveller: The Bianchet Flying Tourbillon Sport GMT

The Flying Tourbillon Sport GMT is the newest addition to the spectacular range of flying tourbillon timepieces by Bianchet, having the reputation of being a dependable companion for globetrotters. The debut of this GMT timepiece delivers six distinctive references powered by a proprietary hand-wound skeletonised movement with the flying 60-second tourbillon. The highly capable GMT watch allows the wearer to simultaneously read two time zones, the local time and reference time. A fitting example of form and function, the Flying Tourbillon Sport GMT features a flying tourbillon designed to neutralise the force of gravity, and seems to float at the heart of the movement, rendering a wicked illusion. Sporty and luxurious, the ultra-modern watch is a head turner, courtesy its tonneau case and openworked dial. Not stopping at that, Bianchet craftspeople fully utilised the titanium flying tourbillon movement to make the new Flying Tourbillon Sport GMT into a distinguished timepiece that is light, ergonomic, and highly shock-resistant. With an impressive water resistance of up to 100m, this timepiece becomes suitable to wear for even regular sports and nautical activities.

All Eyes On The Globe: The Bianchet Flying Tourbillon Sport GMT

The Bianchet Flying Tourbillon Sport GMT features a 24-hour GMT dial showing a rotating globe in sync with the hour hand, symbolising the Earth’s rotation. This timepiece is the result of great attention to detail, evident from the elaborate skeletonised dial that sets stage for the central hour and minute hands. The coloured accents on the two hands match the rubber accents on the case and strap for a uniform design aesthetic.

While incorporating multiple functions leads to the addition of various complications, the Flying Tourbillon Sport GMT has successfully addressed this challenge. This aspect is attributed to its intuitive function selector that indicates the crown’s position, winding, setting of the local time, and adjusting the reference time. There are two material choices for this watch; a titanium-dust-high-density carbon and just titanium. The watch comes in six colours and two vulcanised natural rubber strap colour options with a titanium folding clasp.

The hour indicators, delicately positioned by hand and designed with luminescent details, again showcases Bianchet’s meticulous craftsmanship. Additionally, the lacquer decorations carefully applied with a paintbrush enhance the contrasts on the crown and tourbillon cage.

An Adept Sport GMT Movement

Housed inside the 43mm case is the highly functional in-house flying tourbillon 60 seconds calibre made from titanium. The flawless finish on the titanium movement catches light, creating mesmerising reflections. Even the carefully hand-polished bevelled edges enhance this reflective appeal of the engine, resulting in a sleek, polished surface. Beating at the frequency of 3Hz, the flying tourbillon movement achieves an exceptional power reserve of around 90 hours.
