1 2 7 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I MASTERGRAFF ULTRA FLAT TOURBILLON TheMasterGraff Ultra Flat Tourbillon features the hand wound Graff Calibre 4 movement, which was specially developed for Graff. By designing a complex system of ceramic ball bearings, it was possible to integrate the tourbillon escapement into a mechanism measuring just 3.5mm thick. This supremely elegant dress watch is now available with new brown and blue mother of pearl dial variations, as well as with a diamond set case or, in its ultimate expression, with a fully diamond pavé case and dial. Both feature Graff’s invisible mosaic diamond setting, which combines two triangular cut diamonds on either side of a hexagonal cut to replicate a facet of the Graff bezel in diamond form.

The delicate cutaway dial allows a clear view of the tourbillon as well as the exquisitely engraved mainspring barrel. A luxurious look is achieved through the combination of a DLC-coated titanium case with contrasting gold lugs and Graff’s signature diamond set, faceted crown.

Despite the complexity of the piece, the dial layout ensures that both the home time and local time readings are instantly legible, while the case measures a discreet 43mm.

This remarkable watch is now available with a diamond set case with diamond hour markers and a bespoke diamond cut in the shape of the Graff Icon. The watch can also be specified with a fully-set diamond dial. Like the MasterGraff Ultra Flat Tourbillon, such diamond set versions of the GyroGraff feature the invisible mosaic diamond setting.
