TOURBILLON 2 SKELETON

Our “Mission Possible”

Delivering our first tourbillon equipped timepiece in 2020 was a huge milestone for HORAGE. Very few independent brands have the skillset and ability to design and manufacture a tourbillon in-house. Despite numerous challenges, set-backs and strong headwinds: from being knocked down, we picked ourselves up, focussed and got to work.

Our tech team achieved in a few months what many considered to be insurmountable.

Mission Tourbillon” was our “Mission Possible”.

Yet it wasn’t one that was solely tech driven. Our company culture and ethos were shaped and proven by this journey. The collective power of our customers and the watchmaking community was the crucial driving force that kept us motivated and on track. Openness and transparency had always been part of HORAGE, but they became hard-wired into our DNA during this project.

ORIGINAL TIMEPIECEx TOURBILLON 2

Fast forward five years and we felt the time was ripe to re-visit the world of skeletonised tourbillon watches. Holding your watch up-to the light to gaze into its mysterious inner workings is pure joy. Could we combine the free spirit of the original timepiece with the classical design language of Tourbillon 2? Could we feed in the knowledge and experience gained in launching further tourbillon and micro rotor equipped watches to the market?

Tourbillon 2 Skeleton is not just a remix of an older model with some extra metal milled off bridges and callibre cases.

Enabling a view through a timepiece involves heavy engineering. Components need to be rebuilt before being relocated, geometries must be revised, structures tested and refined. Imagine removing all the doors and roof of your car and still achieving the same crash resistance. In essence a skeletonised callibre is a completely new one, developed from ground up.

T2S delivers the standout features of both Tourbillon 1 and 2 in one sleek package.

Our hand drawn Arabic numerals boost legibility, honestly priced precious metal case and buckle options for both yellow and white gold allow enable an even higher “wow”-factor. We’ve added a power reserve indicator at 2 o’clock, but with 120 hours of power reserve you’ll have to commit some considerable time to witness it move.

T2S again underscores our ability to deliver a genuine Swiss Made Tourbillon timepiece at a price level that no other brand can come close to. And just like its forefather T2S won’t be around forever or become a standard part of our range. We won’t limit production to an arbitrary number of pieces but will advise you that at the end of 2025 the door will shut and no further orders will be accepted: you have been warned!
