An aerial bi-axial tourbillon mechanism. A vertical power reserve. Individualist
seconds. A stripped-down dial and spectacular volumes: the latest specimen
from the C Lab Series defies all theories. Even better, it creates its own rules:
emptiness is its core material, engineering its constancy; chemistry a dare and
transparency a must.
Designed and developed by the C Lab Series, the C1 QuantumGravity symbolizes
unrestricted and unconstrained time, where only impulse and intuition prevail. A
special unit dedicated to extreme watchmaking, the C Lab Series has a mission: to
push the boundaries of mechanical watch making by introducing it to new modes
of expression. Last year, the C1 Tourbillon Gravity timepiece inaugurated a new
watchmaking era, where time liberates itself without reserve.
In 2009, the C Lab Series is expanding this watchmaking metamorphosis to
embrace new horizons. Initially devised in the fall of 2008, the C1
QuantumGravity was born after a 5-month incubation period, nurtured by the
will and tireless energy of a team that works on instinct alone. BNB Concept was
entrusted with the creation of the movement, while Studio Bellon finalized the
design.
The result: a new species of watch that lives time as if it were an experiment and
space, a source of stimulation. The creation of the C1 QuantumGravity
constitutes a provocative act in itself, while its construction is an exploration
carried out at the brink of excess and defiance.
