This new tourbillon watch was completed in collaboration with Brazilian graffiti artist Cyril Kongo. The movement bridge imitates the brushstrokes of street graffiti, with different angles and shapes. The bright background and graffiti symbols can be seen on the movement parts, which cleverly combines the beauty of machinery and vision.

The watch is slightly deformed on the basis of the barrel-shaped case. The entire case is made of grade 5 titanium, with “NTPT” carbon fiber watch ring and black ceramic watch ring. The two arrow pointers have a natural and smooth arc outline, and the tourbillon structure is located at 6 o’clock on the dial.

In order to graffiti on the delicate movement parts, Cyril Kongo experimented with painting tools and pigments for more than a year – using a special spray gun, only a tiny drop of liquid was sprayed each time, strictly controlling the weight of the pigment to avoid affecting the balance and operation of the movement; the special pigment can perfectly adhere to the surface of titanium alloy parts, and is not affected by disassembly and assembly, and will never fade.

Equipped with RM tourbillon movement, the swing frequency is 28800vph, and the power reserve is 48 hours. The pattern of the movement bottom plate can be seen through the sapphire crystal case back, which also depicts bright graffiti colors – radiating from the center to the surroundings, imitating the visual effect of paint splashed on the wall.
