Facets everywhere

By Marco Bellini, Zurich ·

A flying tourbillon from a serious house for 50,000 to 58,000 USD is cheap, as tourbillons go. That is the case for the Blast, and it is a reasonable case.

UN-172 automatic, 72 hours, 45 mm by 13.1 mm of faceted titanium, rubber, 50 m. The design is loud and angular and I find it tiring. The cage without an upper bridge is nicely done, though.

For someone who wants a tourbillon and doesn't mind people looking. I mind.
