PROFESSIONAL WATCHES™ | Watches for Men: HD3 Complication Bi-Axial ...

With the success of the Vulcania model, HD3 Complciation is once again bringing out its bi-axial tourbillon with the launch of the new and exclusive Black Pearl model. For this new adventure Fabrice Gonet was inspired by the wonderful era of pirates and buccaneers, to which he added the retro-futuristic steampunk style so uniquely characteristic of Vulcania.

The design of the Black Pearl watch case is straight out of the world of pirates: there is a hatch on the 9 o'clock side of the case which looks like a cannon hatch of a naval man o'war from former times. It opens to give a panoramic view of the tourbillon from the side, and also reveals a plate on which can be engraved the name of the owner and 'captain' of the timepiece. The hatch is decorated with a small plate in titanium PVD showing the famous skull-and-crossbones flag of the pirate Jack Rackham. The sapphire glass back is engraved with a compass rose designed specially for the watch. The design of the crown is reminiscent of a frigate's tiller.
