Providing a view into the mystical depths revealing the secrets of this iconic timepiece, a black dial symbolizes the sober building blocks of decades of watchmaking expertise. This intriguing design allows spectators to explore and admire the complexity and harmony of the inner elements and components of the C1 Tourbillon, while its black PVD-finished titanium case harmonizes perfectly with a state-of-the-art carbon fiber sub-bezel.
