Inspired by the most hard core contemporary super cars that only the most well heeled and affluent watch connoisseurs can appreciate, Azimuth "Twin Barrel Tourbillon" (TBT) represents a brand new era of "micro-machine making".
It is not a watch; they never intended it to be so; it's a complex modern machine that draws its inspiration from the sexy silhouettes and raw muscle power of the various marques in the high end market of super cars.
Pushing the boundaries of Avant-Garde design, Azimuth has yet again surprised the watch fraternity by introducing another "Out of the Box" design to couple a unique time reading mechanism with a highly coveted Tourbillon mechanism.
A peek at the machine's bodywork reveals what the creators of Azimuth had wanted to achieve; an instrument that amalgamates the founders' love of fast cars, the fast lane and haute horlogerie. Fashioned and CNC cut from a solid block of Titanium, this ultra lightweight case similar to the racing bodies of super cars, is adorned with plates of carbon fibre fitted into the recesses at the sides as well as the back of the case.
Examining the domed cockpit of this TBT and you will realise that the highly contoured windscreen is a work of art. Extremely complex and difficult to produce, this double domed sapphire crystal gives an added dimension to the aesthetics of the case.
At the 6 o'clock position beats a massive Tourbillon mechanism with KIF shock absorption system which acts as the "suspension" for the balance staff and the massive cage.
