2 1 1 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I The Edouard Bovet Tourbillon is powered by a single barrel that ensures its impressive autonomy of over ten days, despite its many complications and 472 components. Using this same power, three different time zones can be displayed based on an entirely original configuration that offers complete and intuitive readability, with the local time zone occupying the centre of the timepiece. In addition to the hour and minute hands, a dome indicates the day-night cycle. This dome turns anti-clockwise to represent reality as closely as possible, with the sun rising in the east and setting in the west. Each of the two additional times displayed correspond to any one of the earth’s 24 time zones, set according to the user's preference. Each window displays the name of the chosen city and the time in this same zone via a hand that moves over a 24-hour dial. This hand follows the contour of a hemispherical dome representing the Earth and naturally passes over the meridian of the chosen time zone. It would be possible to write a short book about the timepiece, but for space reasons, suffice it to say that it is an astounding creation. The Edouard Bovet Tourbillon is housed in the emblematic Amadeo convertible case. Patented in 2010, the Amadeo system transforms the timepiece into a reversible wristwatch, a table clock, or a pocket watch without the use of any tools. Only sixty movements will leave Bovet’s workshops, ensuring a level of exclusivity that reflects the excellence of this historic timepiece.
