What to know

Atelier Loreti has added two natural-stone dials to its Celestial Tourbillon collection. Ref. 01319 uses black Snowflake Obsidian patterned with pale cristobalite deposits, while Ref. 01320 uses purple Charoite with naturally varied violet veining. Each reference is limited to 50 pieces.

Both watches use a 42mm stainless-steel case measuring 10.85mm thick, with sapphire crystals front and back, 100 metres of water resistance and a black leather strap. The date-free dial leaves the one-minute tourbillon at six o’clock visually unobstructed.

The automatic L.1T calibre is based on Miyota 8215 architecture but reworked with a new regulating system and tourbillon construction running at 28,800 vibrations per hour. Time+Tide reports a 35-hour reserve, prices of US$980 and US$1,180 respectively, and availability from 19 November 2026.
