Appointments watch in more detail here


The second watch from newer high-end brand Antoine Martin is the Tourbillon Quantieme Continuous. It basically takes all you could (may) have liked about the Continuous Appointments from last year and includes a tourbillon. The new layout of the switch also suggested a regulator style display of time.

What is cool about the Tourbillon Quantieme Continuous? Well it isn't boring, the movement is really complicated and created by Martin Braun, and it is has a super-sized flying tourbillon. Horogasm! I talked about it first here on Centurion.

I covered the Antoine Martin Continuous Appointments watch in more detail here. You can see that the Tourbillon Quantieme Continuous uses the same large 46mm wide case -- which of course means the same basic aesthetic theme is used in this even more high-end piece.

While the Continuous Appointments opts for relative proportion and expansive free space on the switch, the Tourbillon Quantieme Continuous is about providing as many large elements on the switch as possible. Actually, rarely do you see so little space dedicated to the continuous appointments displays. Gotta love how it is packed within so neatly.
