ArtyA unveils its latest manufacture creation:
Purity Wavy Central Tourbillon Purple 40 mm
Perfect equilibrium: 50% tourbillon, 50% sapphire
A new 40 mm Wavy case, purpose-designed to house the PUR-T4 central tourbillon manufacture caliber.
A violet sapphire dial for a singular personality.
The central tourbillon manufacture caliber – nominated for the 2024 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie – returns in a bold new form. It now takes center stage in the brand’s signature domed ‘Wavy’ case, reimagined in a 40 mm silhouette.
Inside the Purity Central Tourbillon
ArtyA’s manufacture PUR-T4 caliber puts watchmaking artistry in the spotlight – quite literally – by placing a striking, oversized 19 mm tourbillon at the very center of the dial. Thanks to the sapphire case’s crystalline clarity, the gaze is drawn straight to this hypnotic mechanical performance – with the dial’s vivid purple hue adding vibrancy and individuality to the piece.
By re-centering the tourbillon, the movement expresses the full extent of horological mastery – taming gravity in pursuit of uncompromising precision. Its 4 Hz frequency (28,800 vibrations per hour) is a rare achievement for a tourbillon of this scale, ensuring outstanding timekeeping while amplifying the mechanism’s visual rhythm.
Driving this elevated tempo are two barrels working in unison to deliver the torque needed to maintain a robust 72-hour power reserve. Given the energy demands of such a large tourbillon at high frequency, this alone stands as a technical feat – and a clear expression of ArtyA’s mechanical ingenuity.
No Central Hands
The PUR-T4 is also the first automatic tourbillon movement developed by the manufacture. In a deliberate move to let the tourbillon take center stage, the central hands were removed entirely. Time is instead displayed by two graceful peripheral markers that emerge from beneath the sapphire dial – offering a refined and poetic way to read the hours and minutes.
Wavy Sapphire Case
This 40 mm sapphire Wavy case embodies a bold, forward-thinking approach to watch design. Entirely reimagined to house the central tourbillon caliber, it retains the collection’s signature flowing curves while offering an immersive showcase for the manufacture movement.
The case’s raised architecture adds depth, setting the stage for the mesmerizing dance of the central tourbillon. Here, the inherent properties of sapphire – exceptionally resistant to scratches and wear – promise a panoramic view that remains pristine and luminous.
With years of expertise in crafting avant-garde cases, ArtyA continues to push the boundaries of form and function. This latest creation achieves a perfect alchemy of cutting-edge technology and refined aesthetics – elevating the visual experience and magnifying every instant on the wrist.
Sapphire Dial
Crafted from genuine colored sapphire, the dial features an engraved chapter ring, set with Super-LumiNova® markers.
Its deep violet hue adds a vibrant touch that brings the caliber to life.
