For a very long time, watchmakers have been coming up with ways to eliminate the negative effects the gravity can have on the performance of a watch. But Roger Dubuis was thinking differently; it wanted to harness the power of the gravity to make the watch more efficient. That idea is now realised in the Monovortex Split-Seconds Chronograph concept watch that features a cylindrical oscillating weight called the Turborotor, which is positioned at 12 o’clock, that keeps the winding of the watch efficient by embracing gravity.
The watchmaker didn’t stop there. This patent-pending breakthrough is paired with the Conical Monovortex Tourbillon that has a 360-degree trajectory that cancels the negative effects of gravity. Rounding out the complicated profile is a split-second chronograph with a unique rotating 30-minute counter in isotoxal shape housing a tripartite hand carrying the numerals 0, 1 and 2, that accurately rotates along the 0-9 digits on the right.
