Franc Vila Tourbillon Chronograph SuperLigero

Posted 2 years, 11 months ago


A year after the appearance of the FVa N° 6 SuperLigero Concept, Franc Vila now introduces a flying chronograph tourbillon based on nanotechnology.

The new movement, like last year’s, is made of Lightnium, but the design of the bridges has been inspired by the molecular structure of Graphene, a recently discovered material.

While its density is very low, with a thickness equivalent to an atom, it is 10 to 100 times more resistant than steel and much harder than diamond.

Movement is the hand-wound FV N°4 caliber, hand-decorated, with 33 jewels, beating at 28,800 bph with a pierced flying tourbillon with differential gear and inertia control mechanism. The mono-pusher chronograph is a column wheel design which is directly coupled to the tourbillon. It has a 5-day power reserve.
