"The Black Hole Tourbillon answers with a joystick. Not a crown dressed up to look modern, but an actual ergonomic joystick system that lets you push time forward or pull it backward with the slightest pressure. It's the kind of design choice that makes you wonder why every other watchmaker is still using miniature knobs."
"The center of the Black Hole dial presents what appears to be a floating tourbillon, hovering above three concentric tiers of titanium. Vanguart calls it a "levitating flying tourbillon," and the visual effect lives up to that description. The caliber T-1701 mechanism creates the illusion of weightlessness while maintaining the precision you'd expect from 775 hand-assembled components."
"Time displays through a linear system where hours and minutes each occupy their own concentric ring, bordering the tourbillon rather than competing with it. The dial doesn't just show time. It orchestrates a three-tier mechanical ballet where every element serves both function and visual narrative."
Vanguart replaces the traditional crown with an ergonomic joystick that lets wearers push time forward or pull it backward with minimal pressure. The Black Hole features a levitating flying tourbillon hovering above three concentric titanium tiers, driven by the caliber T-1701 with 775 hand-assembled components. Hours and minutes display on separate concentric rings that border the tourbillon, creating a linear, uncluttered readout. The dial prioritizes restraint and legibility through hand-painted indications and depth from titanium tiers. Case architecture shows no visible fasteners, using microblasted exoskeleton surfaces and polished bevels to preserve flowing geometry and futuristic aesthetics.
