A very rare, attractive and highly unconventional white gold limited-edition triple-rotation tourbillon wristwatch from the independent Swiss watch brand BLU, founded in 2000 by Bernhard Lederer, a German watch- and clockmaker, and active until 2010–2011. Produced circa 2010. Case in 18k white gold, diameter 43mm, caseband with transparent sapphire ring, open-worked dial, hinged lugs, sapphire caseback. Caliber BL 707, hand-wound, double barrel, power reserve up to 72 hours. Functions – indication of time in hours, minutes and seconds via the triple rotation of an orbital tourbillon. White leather strap, BLU 18k white gold double folding clasp. Limited edition of 50 pieces.
The BLU Majesty Tourbillon MT3 Limited Edition Ref. MT3/030.60.7/D would appear to be an attractive purchase for the collector and connoisseur of fine watchmaking due to its impressive and unusual design. A breakthrough invention in which Bernhard Lederer combined several technical ideas in a very elegant and optimal way, including the incorporation of a tourbillon into a planetary time display system, a triple rotation tourbillon and an optimised tourbillon without a carriage top, will certainly leave the name of the inventor in the annals of watchmaking. It is definitely one of the cornerstones and modern vanguards of creative watchmaking. The present watch has a strong and distinctive character, and may well attract a connoisseur of watchmaking art as an extraordinary daily wearer.
The watch case adopts an amphitheatre design with a deep 3D structure. To add light to this, Bernhard Lederer created an unusual case with a sapphire band screwed to the bezel and caseband by twelve ‘pillars’ – these function as hour markers. The movement, which is open on the dial side, has a strict technical finish yet is very elegant and with details that deserve attention. Particularly noteworthy is the skeleton bridge of the transmission wheel, with wide, meticulously carved bevels and seven sharp internal corners, made according to the rules of haute horlogerie. The mainplate under the transmission wheel is decorated with a wavy guilloche motif, and outside it with a spiral striped finish. The back of the movement bears the classic Côtes de Genève finish and grey-tinted engraved inscriptions.
