 This is the X-TREM-1 in red gold and chocolate PVD titanium.

 X-TREM-1 displays hour and minutes by means of two tiny hollowed steel spheres isolated within sapphire tubes on both sides of the case band. The whole mechanism is revolutionary: the two spheres – which appear to be floating in their respective tubes – are controlled by magnetic fields generated by two magnets moved by ultra-thin surgical silk thread.

X-TREM-1 Chocolate is equipped with a flying tourbillon – which is inclined at 30° and mounted on a convex titanium mainplate – and is available in a limited edition of eight pieces.
