The aptly named Virtuoso tourbillon combines technicality and aesthetics with rare virtuosity. Housed in a revisited Amadeo case with a more sensual curve and a crown-integrated convertibility system, it displays instantaneous-type jumping hours, jumping retrograde minutes and a remarkable power reserve – all along the same axis. The overall readability and refinement might tempt one to overlook the sheer complexity of the construction. The tourbillon mechanism, which fills the lower half of the dial, is characterised by a balance with three blued weights – echoing the design of the Rising Star tourbillon – an escapement wheel connected to its axis by two curved spokes instead of four straight ones and a tail lever inspired by those used in pocket watches in the second half of the 19th century. Thanks to the Amadeo system, the Virtuoso tourbillon presents a second face with reversed hand-fitting which displays the hours and minutes in traditional fashion, with hands. In true Bovet style, it boasts a distinctive engraved décor despite a surface area limited by the light, airy architecture of the movement.
