Footnotes Introduced at the 2002 Basel Fair, the HI tourbillon wristwatch embodies the belief of its creator, Beat Haldimann that Horology is an art. His atelier, located in Thun, Switzerland produces individually crafted watches and clocks to order without the use of automated machinery. Haldimann sees himself upholding the tradition of innovation and craftsmanship that characterized the work of the pioneers of precision time keeping such as Harrison, Breguet or Janvier.
The challenge in designing the first H1 was crafting a highly finished tourbillon of sufficient size to be effective while keeping the overall dimensions of the watch to a modest size. In addition, choosing to locate the carriage in the center of the movement precluded the use of standard calibers or conventional motion work. The result is a unique watch entirely of Haldimann's own design and manufacture.
A detail of the tourbillon carriage is illustrated on the back cover. Jonathan Snellenburg Specialist - Watches
