Nobody has ever used agate in watch production. Agate is a rare natural mineral in which small pieces of prehistoric flora have turned to stone. Tourbillion looks its best in Audemars Piguet Edward Piguet Moos Agate Tourbillon. Almost all modules and parts are hand-made. Even the most intelligent machine can’t assemble Edward Piguet Moos Agate Tourbillion - without a man. In this watch everything obeys natural beauty of agate.
Why this mineral haven’t been used in watch making before? The reason is that it’s very fragile. It can’t be processed both mechanically or with cutters. It was perfected with ultrasound and special abrasive liquid. This method is a world premiere in watch making art. Even now when the technology is completely developed it takes a week to make this masterpiece.
To focus attention on the natural beauty of agate, the watch doesn’t have many functions. It is probably the first time when Swiss producers have created a tourbillion paying great attention to its design.
