The Master Grande Tradition Tourbillon Orbital sets the perfect stage for a fascinating performance by the tourbillon : fixed to a rotating dial, it reproduces the movement of the earth which makes one full turn around its axis and in relation to the vernal point in exactly 23 hours, 56 minutes and four seconds – meaning a sidereal day. In an ultimate touch of elegance, the sunburst dial is adorned with a new gemsetting technique. Inspired by the amphitheaters of Ancient Grace, it features a pyramid-shaped structure on which baguette-cut diamonds create an unexpected relief effect. The reflections vary according to the time of day and the angle of exposure to the light, ensuring a constantly changing sight. This stunning aesthetic creativity is matched by technical expertise guaranteeing the well above average energy required to keep the generous bejeweled dial in constant rotation.
