BLU Majesty Tourbillon MT3 Triple Tourbillon Movements - White Gold

Blu proudly presents a sublime collection of "Majesty Tourbillons", equipped with technically revolutionary triple tourbillon movements. This limited edition has no dial so that the movement and the three orbiting tourbillons can be admired in all their splendour. Each rotates at a different speed, one displaying the hours, another the minutes, and a third the seconds. The incomparable Majesty Tourbillons are at the twin pinnacles of kinetic art and state-of-the-art watchmaking. Bernhard Lederer, Blu's founder and master-watchmaker who namely created the orbital dials of the Planet series and the award-winning MT3, reminds us: "At Blu, we craft stunning timepieces whose beauty is complimented by their timekeeping, not overshadowed by it".

description:

BLU MAJESTY TOURBILLON MT3: A tourbillon within a tourbillon within a tourbillon

In more than twenty years Bernhard Lederer has made himself a name with unique watch designs and daring interpretations of extraordinary time displays. This tradition of innovation lives on in his watch brand „Blu", and very apparently so in the revolutionary movement of his «Majesty» watch, a highly complicated system of three (!) corresponding tourbillons with individual turning speeds.

In the foreground rotates a „semi-flying" minute tourbillon, mounted on the cage of a flying hour tourbillon, which in turn is carried around the dial by a big 12-hour tourbillon. The power needed to move such a complex mechanism with extreme precision is delivered by twin going barrels hidden under the baseplate - a space which in conventional movements is occupied by the gear cascades. In the case of the Blu Majesty Tourbillon MT3 there is no need for seperate gears, as both going train and dial train are incorporated in the ballet of tourbillons displayed on the watch face.

To obtain a logical and „organic" rotational speed, the escapement in the semi-flying tourbillon beats at a rate of 14.400 v.p.h. or 2 Hertz. The balance wheel has a rather huge diameter (13 mm) and swings considerably slower than most contemporary movements, allowing at every turning point a glimpse at the delicately shaped mechanical marvel. „Only servants rush", muses Bernhard Lederer, „a king can take his time".

The Blu Majesty Tourbillon MT3, which had its debut on the Baselworld 2007 watch fair, is a truly majestic timepiece, an impressive demonstration of three-dimensional, almost architectural horology. The golden bezel of the watchcase towers on twelve visible columns, each serving as an hour index, resembling the colonnades of the greek Parthenon.
