Basel 2008: Marc Alfieri TME 01 Toubillon Watch

Marc Alfieri Time Measure Experience presents an extremely exclusive concept-type watch. The Marc Alfiere TME 01 Tourbillon is a stunning design that emphasizes a highly technical aesthetic, emphasized by the use of unusual complications, high tech materials, and avant-garde displays. The Marc Alfieri TME 01 Tourbillon watch utilizes an innovative movement which has been developed by BNB Concept, a specialist in unusual horological executions that has supplied many prestigious names in the Swiss watch industry.  In addition to the flying one-minute tourbillon regulator, the watch features a number of other advanced technical elements. These include:

-A linear power reserve indicator
-A linear "trust index" which indicates the optimal range of mainspring torque
-A unique single-dial chronograph complication with a clock-type hour and minute display; the chronograph also offers a flyback function
-A GMT indicator, whose rotating display appears in a semi-circular window.
-120-hour power reserve

Movement plates are crafted from carbon fiber, and are accented by a unique X-bridge design, which is visible through the sapphire crystal caseback window.  "Half circle drive" screws permit a very precise level of tension that optimizes the constructive integrity of the movement. The curved, rectangular 54 X 43mm case is crafted from Grade 5 titanium; the crown is also crafted from this material, and features a double O-ring system.  The watch is fitted with a hand-crafted strap in "titanium lizard" leather.  Each Marc Alfieri TME 01 Tourbillon is delivered in a cap-sealed aluminum cylinder which also contains a USB flash drive that features the history of the timepiece.  This rare luxury watch's production will be limited to a series of 23 individually numbered pieces.
