What to know

Sylvain Pinaud’s Tourbillon 30-Second preserves an asymmetric time display while giving the regulating organ a more dynamic role. Its titanium carriage rotates twice each minute. A separate small-seconds counter remains easier to read than a hand mounted on the carriage and creates a second rhythm across the dial.

The hand-wound movement provides 100 hours of reserve. Pulling the crown resets the seconds hand to zero while the tourbillon continues running. Announced in April 2026, the 39mm watch comes in three ten-piece series: one titanium execution and two platinum versions. The photographs show different dial and case treatments within that collection.
