BADOLLET REINFORCES THE PERSONALISATION OF ITS INSTRUMENTS OF TIME WITH A VIRTUAL SELECTOR

Personalisation lies at the very heart of all the actions undertaken by Badollet. Through the selector now available on its website, Badollet facilitates this desire for personalisation by enabling visitors to create their very own Badollet Instrument of Time. Visitors may first choose from the two aesthetic approaches adopted by Badollet timepieces: Observatoire 1872 for more classical lines; or Crystalball for a more contemporary design.

The Badollet Stellaire Tourbillon has a mechanical hand-wound movement, with a 120-hour power reserve displayed on the caseback, indicates the hours and minutes by means of central hands, as well as a tourbillon that is visible through the openworked dial at 6 o'clock. Revealing the symbolic power of the infinitely small, the carriage of the flying tourbillon carrying the Badollet logo and weighing less than one gram is set in a free-spirited and random manner with various shapes of extra-terrestrial olivines, also extracted from meteorite fragments. The 44 mm-diameter case in 150 palladium-coated white gold of the Tourbillon Stellaire is fitted with a sapphire crystal caseback enabling one to admire the back of the exceptional movement as well as its power reserve. Water-resistant to 30 metres, this stunning model features a glareproofed sapphire crystal protecting an openworked dial with Roman numeral hour circle, revealing the various parts of the movement and its meteorite baseplate. The dial comes in a range of materials ranging from lapis lazuli to onyx, as well as brown jade and black or white mother-of-pearl. MORE>>

Badollet takes its personalisation concept to extremes with the Crystalball Chronograph: associated with an exceptional mechanism, its classic design can be interpreted in numerous different ways according to personal preferences...

Three kinds of dials, each offered in a choice of materials, a range of dial-
ring variations: the Crystalball Chronograph is capable of adapting to all
kinds of aesthetic and technical desires.

This manual-winding monopusher chronograph with tourbillon is a very complicated movement, which is why it costs $245,000 plus. Also the watch case is made of white gold with a palladium coating for extra brillance.
