“The future owners can personalize their watch by choosing from an exclusive selection of eight dazzling opals. This will make that watch absolutely unique. For the JULES VERNE “UNDER THE SEA” tourbillon, the dial becomes a canvas upon which the mysterious, shimmering reflections of the opal merge with the harmonious and regular lines of a traditional guilloché.”
Jean-Marie Schaller

The central disc of these JULES VERNE tourbillons will be set in a peripheral guilloché. This rigorous craft involves carefully producing enchanting motifs by engraving gentle grooves on a metallic surface. The guillocheur then applies a translucid varnish to the surface, which adds depth and brilliance to the decoration.
Magical opals
The JULES VERNE tourbillons feature an off-centre flying tourbillon that defies gravity in a startling and fascinating manner. The hand-wound mechanism has a double barrel spring. The system, known as volte-face, has one barrel mounted upside down over the other. They discharge their energy simultaneously, delivering a power reserve of ninety-six hours.
The finest mantle
These exceptional works of art come in a 40-millimetre case with well-defined, flowing curves. The domed sapphire crystal, itself an impressive technical feat, gives a full view of the tourbillon and many other fascinating details of the dial. As for the openworked lugs, they underscore the integration of the strap.
