Gibeon meteorite dial
Swiss made
The mechanism required over three years of research.
“The idea is to push existing limits, like Louis Moinet back in his time.
In light of its extraordinary characteristics, its construction was initially deemed impossible and is now one of the most sophisticated of its kind, making the SPACE REVOLUTION one of the most important superwatches of the decade.”

This exceptional 3D video enables you to immerse yourself in the complex mechanism of Space Revolution and observe its volume along with each of its elements in detail: two tourbillons rotating in opposite directions, at different speeds and on distinct levels, along with two spaceships also travelling in opposite directions and at different heights. An authentic technical and creative feat.
Technology enables a true feat
Two spaceships and two satellite tourbillons rotating around the dial, as well as the two tourbillon cages – each spinning on its own axis.
Two tourbillons are rotating at high speed in opposite directions. They cross paths 18 times/hour (i.e. every three minutes and twenty seconds) and are built on two levels. The first one revolves around the dial in five minutes (clockwise), and the other in ten minutes (counter-clockwise).
More accurate than a tourbillon
Two oscillators with a differential gear mechanism
Perfect rotation and poising of the rotating elements
5 ball-bearings with 7 ceramic balls
1 ball-bearing with 9 ceramic balls

Each supplying energy to a tourbillon

Virtuoso assembly process
Only one movement per month 43 mm
Mysterious mechanism
The mechanism is hidden in the base of the chassis, measuring a mere 3.75 mm thick. The central column transmits orders to the tourbillons, spaceships and hands.
The advantage of this construction is to leave plenty of space so as to highlight the magic of the show being staged.
Intergalactic spaceships
The science-fiction inspired spaceships are made of high-tech titanium.
Titanium is ultra light. This lightness is essential for a very high-speed revolution: a complete turn of the dial takes five minutes for BLACK FORCE, and ten minutes for RED FORCE.
Black Force
RED Force
The finishing is hand-crafted and the vibrancy of the red and black colours stems from an applied lacquer.
Why such a fast speed?
It gives life to a playful show, in perpetual motion. The spaceship serves a technical function, acting as a counterweight to the opposite tourbillon.
A spaceship weighs 0.5 grams, barely more than a bird feather...
Extraterrestrial fragments
The fragments of lunar and Gibeon meteorite have travelled through interstellar space for billions of years before finding their place on this exceptional creation.
Gibeon meteorite dial
The Gibeon meteorite fell to Earth in prehistoric times. It was discovered in 1836 near the town of Gibeon, Namibia. It displays the unique Widmanstätten pattern and has a captivating midnight blue tint, adding remarkable originality to its appearance.
Moon meteorite
Moon meteorite is an exceptionally rare and valuable type of meteorite, with fewer than four hundred known specimens recorded worldwide. It journeyed through interstellar space before being captured by Earth's gravity, ultimately landing in Oman's Dhofar Desert.
Maximal transparency enables one to admire a unique show.
The technical construction of the case is unusual:
- a sapphire container mounted on an 18K gold chassis
- openworked lugs and case middle
- a sapphire dome and welded inner bezel ring

The fastening system faithfully reproduces BLACK FORCE and stems from complex modelling and a painstaking production process.
The sphere is coated with a material immersing us into the graphic universe of meteorites.

300,000 km/sec. The speed of light, indicated instead of the minutes.
In 5 minutes, it travels 90 million kilometres.
In 10 minutes, it travels 180 million kilometres…
At this speed, a journey from the Earth to the Moon would take just over a second, and Mars would be 3 to 22 minutes away, depending on its orbital position.
