Hand engraved Titanium Monopusher Chrono Tourbillon
The arabesque motifs on the titanium grade 5 watch were very difficult to work and very labour intensive. The final result stands in the age-old tradition of royal gunsmiths.

This has never been done before in a watch, and Artya has dared to pair this with one of the watchmaking’s most traditional complications, it’s own high end flying...
