The majestic qualities of the High King Tourbillon starts with its most visible part, the 44mm case made from 18k pink gold. It has a complex pierced bezel, and a protected crown utilizing crank-down mechanism. This magnificent case holds and displays an equally majestic black dial with the hour markers and the javelin-shaped hands acting as efficient accents. The hands are also of pink gold.
At the upper right rests the sub-dial for the retrograde date display. The smaller, lower-right sub-dial is the power reserve indicator. At the 9 o’clock lies the next majestic quality, the proudly displayed tourbillon cage.
Inspired by the magnificence and warmth of the sun, this timepiece is limited to an edition of just 25 pieces. It is hand-wound and uses the RSW 1910.54 caliber, a 17-jewel movement. Full power reserve is a plentiful 120 hours. Sapphire crystal are fitted at both the front and the back.
A very exclusive watch, the RSW High King Tourbillon is fitted with either black or brown alligator strap with huge clasp made from 18k pink gold. It projects a very powerful and proud image as can be expected from something inspired by the biggest star in the Milky Way.
