High complications have been an enduring fascination for the Maison throughout its 270-year history, from bringing the moon and stars within reach and challenging gravity with flying tourbillons to chiming magical moments or chronographs that capture the blink of an eye.
Skeleton and openworked timepieces make these technical mechanisms visible. Such daring structural revisions, however, are mechanical and artistic feats in their own right, calling for the expertise of artisans from multiple domains: a master watchmaker for mechanics, a master chamferer to orchestrate the play of light, and a master engraver to imbue the whole with personality.
