This high-tech watch movement rubbing shoulders with the retro feel of the toothed combs and pin-fitted cylinders typical of traditional music boxes. A press on the 2 o\u2019clock pusher activates the rotation of the cylinders, sounding the \u201cMemory\u201d tune from the musical Cats. But in this aptly named Opera watch, the show is also a visual stage-setting, since the structure bearing the cylinders, as well as the gravitational tripleaxis tourbillon and the hours and minutes dial, simultaneously perform a 120\u00b0 rotation around the dial. The even more spectacular tourbillon carriage much even faster than on the Astronomia models. The watch comes in a pared-down version highlighting the complexity of its inner workings, as well as another variation decorated with musical scores and musical instruments.
