Pursuing its endeavours and its upscaling towards the lofty spheres of Haute Horlogerie, yet never forsaking its highly distinctive aesthetic criteria, Hysek is unveiling the latest creation from its Manufacture. The entirely in-house made automatic double-tourbillon powering the Verdict watch provides front and back displays of the ballet performed by its 331 parts, starting with its gold micro-rotor at 10 o’clock and the two independent tourbillon carriages that are kept in sync by a differential gear mechanism. The fourth element dominating the dial is a date window of which the readability is enhanced by the anthracite vertical Côtes de Genève guilloché pattern which provides an effective contrast. On the back of the pink gold or titanium and pink gold case, the mainplate is embellished with a windrose motif remaining imperturbably in place opposite the to-and-fro motion of the second micro-rotor visible on this side of this 8-piece limited series.
