Franc Vila FVa Cuatro 5-Day Tourbillon Chronograph
In Franc Vila's own words, "This extraordinary timepiece will become a legend in the world of high-end mechanical sport-luxury chronographs." A justifiable claim because the watch houses the first movement in history to incorporate a chronograph with all of its mechanism located on the dial-side. The chronograph mechanism has the column wheel visible at 12 and has a monopusher function with direct coupling on the tourbillon cage. Ultra-Limited Edition 8 pieces.
