As a watch complication, tourbillion has been utilized and featured on several luxury watches. Vertalis though, a new watch from Louis Moinet, is being considered as one of the best tourbillon watch in existence. This is according to majority of watch experts who’ve seen and analyzed the watch in action.

Several reasons make the Vertalis stand out, the most visible of which is the design. Its elegance and style is quite refreshing, unique in its presentation and inspiring with its beauty and charm. Aesthetics is combined with mechanical prowess, evident in how many parts the case alone has. In case you’re wondering, it has 50 parts made from either 5N red gold or white gold. This fusion of red gold and white gold gives this watch an unusual glow with the red gold providing the sheen and gloss and the white gold accentuating the overall look.

If you turn the watch over, the second reason why Vertalis is considered an excellent watch comes into view. Via the see-through case-back, the architecture and the technology that powers this watch is presented in all its glory. Moving perfectly, the mechanical parts moves as if dancing to a set beat and rhythm. The intricacies, patience, and the talent involved in the making of this watch make it a gem.

Limited to only 12 editions, Louis Moinet’s Vertalis Tourbillon is a highly exclusive watch. But knowing watches such as these exist is the second best thing next to owning one. Thanks to Louis Moinet for such masterpieces.
