Badollet Ivresse Mechanical Watch

Beneath a seemingly subdued surface lie hidden mechanical depths… Ivresse is the latest Manufacture timepiece by Badollet. The rectangular case, in platinum, embraces the wrist with its gentle curves while its finishes convey absolute purity that serves to highlight the midnight blue dial. Such contrast is heightened by the brushed finish of the dial which itself is set against a circular satin-brushed hour ring. This refined aesthetic, the work of Eric Giroud, is equalled only by the mechanical complexity that brings this timepiece to life. The flying tourbillon movement, exclusively designed and developed for Badollet, is deliberately hidden from view, revealed only through the transparent caseback whose sapphire crystal takes the shape of the infinity symbol, a tribute to time as the universal driving force.
