PROPERTY OF AN IMPORTANT ASIAN COLLECTOR Haldimann H1 Central Tourbillon, Reference H1 A platinum flying tourbillon wristwatch, Circa 2002 Dial: silvered Calibre: cal. H-ZEN-A mechanical, 32 jewels Movement number: 00/B Case: platinum, sapphire crystal display back secured by 6 screws Case number: 00/GE Closure: black Haldimann alligator strap and platinum folding clasp Size: 39 mm diameter Signed: case, dial and movement Accessories: none Only a small number of watchmakers still practice the oldest, most traditional handmade methods. Beat Haldimann and his team are among the rare few who continue to produce watches without relying on CNC machinery. Launched in 2002, the H1 Flying Central Tourbillon is arguably Haldimann’s most renowned model. Upon first glance, the oversized tourbillon is impossible to miss, taking centre stage in Beat Haldimann’s dramatic creation. The tourbillon measures 17.8 mm across and sits above a large balance wheel. The lyre-shaped tourbillon cage is made from stainless steel and finished entirely by hand. Because the cage is so delicate, only a highly experienced watchmaker can perform the hand-finishing — even the slightest pressure risks deforming it. The 39 mm platinum case, dial, and hands present beautiful aesthetic—elegantly restrained yet full of character. The platinum case gives the watch a substantial, luxurious feel on the wrist, while the silver dial with hand-engraved numerals injects a modern vitality. The hands, modeled on an 18th‑century Haldimann Frères pocket watch, include a seconds display driven by the rotation of the flying tourbillon cage.

All these advanced developments were not simply created to optimize the performance of the watches, but also to enhance their precision and reliability. When combined with the technical elegance of the tourbillon and the usability of the quick-set second time zone, the watch becomes not only a mechanical marvel, but a beautiful and easy-to-use timekeeper.

PROPERTY FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER Daniel Roth Regulateur Tourbillon, Reference 2187 A yellow gold double dialled tourbillon wristwatch with date and power reserve, Circa 1994 Dial: grey and silvered Calibre: cal. DR307 mechanical, jewelled Case: 18k yellow gold, case back displaying date and power reserve Case number: 146 Closure: black Daniel Roth alligator strap and 18k yellow gold buckle Size: 40.5 mm length x 35 mm width Signed: case, dial and movement Accessories: none Daniel Roth is widely considered to be one of the most talented and remarkable watchmakers of the past century. Raised in his grandfather’s watchmaking workshop, it is no overstatement to say that Roth has lived and breathed watches for his entire life, and at the time of writing has spent over 50 years in the industry, working for the likes of Audemars Piguet and Breguet. It was at the latter which he honed his own personal style during his tenure as Master Watchmaker of the brand. In 1988, Daniel Roth founded his eponymous brand where he integrated classic design influences with his own identity, carving out his own space of the horological landscape. One of his first creations, the distinct ‘double ellipse’ case shape, went on to become a hallmark of the brand. Heavily influenced by Breguet, a brand which is intrinsically associated with the tourbillon, it is no wonder why Daniel Roth was a big adopter of the complication as well. In recent years, Daniel Roth has gained immense popularity in the indie scene, with the present 2187 standing out as one of the most coveted references thanks to its distinctive double dialled design, with time telling on the main dial, and date and power reserve visible on the case back display.

Patek Philippe Reference 3939 A platinum minute repeating tourbillon wristwatch with enamel dial, Made in 1999 Dial: enamel Calibre: cal. RTO 27 PS mechanical, 28 jewels Movement number: 1'903'027 Case: platinum, snap on sapphire crystal display back Case number: 2'972'544 Closure: black Patek Philippe alligator strap and platinum campaign buckle Size: 33 mm diameter Signed: case, dial and movement Accessories: Patek Philippe Certificate of Origin, additional case back, product literature, instruction manual and presentation box. Furthermore delivered with Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch in 1999 and its subsequent sale on 22 February 2000 The reference 3939 has been the connoisseur’s choice ever since its launch. Indeed, the combination of a minute repeater and tourbillon already propels this watch into the highest levels of haute horology, but to house both powerhouse complications within an understated and compact 33 mm case adds another dimension to this feat. For good measure, Patek Philippe also fitted this watch with an enamel dial, a material reserved for only a select few references which have all since become collector’s favourites, such as the 2526. However, despite its tour-de-force complications package and beautiful aesthetic, the reference remained undervalued for many years as the trends at the time favoured larger case sizes. The reference also saw very low production throughout its run from 1993 to 2009 due to the complication, with no more than 200 total pieces ever made, averaging 12 per year. Consequently, very few examples come to market every year. As collectors today return to favouring more modest case sizes, the 3939 has finally begun to receive the attention it has always deserved, with all of the above factors further fuelling its popularity. The watch has been retained in exceptional condition and complete with all accessories.

PROPERTY FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER F.P. Journe Tourbillon Souverain A platinum tourbillon wristwatch with constant force remontoire, dead beat seconds and power reserve indication, Circa 2008 Dial: silvered white gold Calibre: cal. 1403 mechanical, 26 jewels Case: platinum, case back secured by 6 screws Case number: 394-TN Closure: grey F.P. Journe alligator strap and 18k white gold folding clasp Size: 40 mm diameter Signed: case, dial and movement Accessories: F.P. Journe Certificate of Authenticity and presentation box The tourbillon complication has been at the centre of everything Journe has done, since the very beginning. After being expelled from watchmaking school at the age of 16 for his eccentric personality, something which is not only still present but in-fact key to his identity, Journe was taken in as an apprentice at his uncle’s clock restoring studio in Paris. It was there where he was exposed to and inspired by traditional watchmaking from the likes of Breguet, the inventor of the tourbillon. In 1977 at the age of 20, Journe began working on his own tourbillon in the form of a pocketwatch, completing it in 1983. The process sparked his creative process, and fueled with his newly found passion and skillset, in 1991 a young Journe turned up to Baselworld with his first wristwatch, featuring a tourbillon and remontoir d'égalité. The rest is history, and F.P. Journe’s line of tourbillon wristwatches would become core to his collection and brand identity. Despite undergoing several variations across the years, the core layout with openworked tourbillon cage parallel to a subsidiary timetelling dial would remain the same. Also unchanging would be the use of a remontoir d'égalité, a complex mechanism which releases a uniform pulse of power to the escapement as opposed to the usual flow of energy which changes with the state of winding, and thus improving accuracy. With the reference TN introduced in 2004, the remontoir was cleverly combined with a natural dead beat seconds complications. The present Tourbillon Souverain, preserved in wonderful condition, is truly more than a watch. It represents the great success story that is F.P. Journe, and encapsulates the very best of contemporary non-utilitarian watchmaking. Today, F.P. Journe is a name known and respected by any connoisseur, and his magnum opus is the Tourbillon avec remontoir d'égalité.

PROPERTY OF AN IMPORTANT COLLECTOR F.P. Journe Tourbillon Souverain ‘Ruthenium’ A limited edition platinum tourbillon wristwatch with constant force remontoire and power reserve indication, Circa 2001 Dial: 18k gold coated with Ruthenium Calibre: cal. 1498 mechanical, 25 jewels, coated with Ruthenium Case: platinum, sapphire crystal display back secured by 6 screws Case number: limited edition 23/99-01T Closure: brown F.P. Journe alligator strap and platinum buckle Size: 40 mm diameter Signed: case, dial and movement Accessories: F.P. Journe Certificate, additional black alligator strap, additional 18k white gold folding clasp, instruction manual and presentation box Even though his tourbillon range is today recognised as one of his seminal works, many do not appreciate that the tourbillon complication is not only central to his brand identity, but also the identity of F.P. Journe the man. Journe was expelled from school at a young age for his disruptive behaviour, a personality defect which he would eventually use in his favour, and took refuge in his uncle’s Parisian clock restoration workshop. It was during this time that Journe was exposed to traditional watchmaking from masters like Breguet and Daniels. He would not return to school. At the age of 20, Journe felt confident enough to start working on his own watch, a pocket watch with tourbillon and spring detent escapement, finishing it after five years. A decade later in 1991, he began working on his first wristwatch. It also housed a tourbillon, but this time incorporated a constant force mechanism known as a remontoire. Through these formative years, it is abundantly clear that the tourbillon was a key component of Journe’s development, and is a complication as significant to Journe as the perpetual calendar is to Patek Philippe. The present watch belongs to a highly limited edition of just 99 pieces, made as the final run of the Tourbillon Souveraine reference T, after which the Tourbillon Nouvelle with dead seconds was introduced. To mark the occasion, Journe coated both the dial and movement in Ruthenium, giving this series an instantly recognisable and sleek aesthetic. To possess any Journe is special, but the Ruthenium Tourbillon stands as a significant and rare edition of the model line most dear to the man himself.

A highly innovative creation from Harry Winston’s Rare Timepieces division, the white‑gold Tourbillon Glissière showcases a dramatic skeletonized movement developed with master watchmaker Christophe Claret. Limited to just 25 pieces, it features a tourbillon paired with a unique winding system driven by two sliding platinum weights that travel along vertical rails, powering the watch through a mechanical linkage on the reverse side. The open worked dial reveals twin circular displays, one for the gear train and one for the flying tourbillon, visible not only from the front but also through lateral apertures in the rectangular case. A linear power‑reserve display at the base completes the locomotive‑inspired aesthetic, giving the watch its distinctive kinetic character.
