I can remember clearly the Daniel Roth Tourbillon Lumière watch, which was firstly introduced two years ago. It highlights a gold accent, and the overall design is sheer impressive. Now, Daniel Roth has delightedly presented a platinum version for this exceptional watch, nobler, lighter, and brighter than ever.

At the first time I met the Daniel Roth Tourbillon Lumière watch, I was absolutely obsessed with the unobstructed view of its finely hand-assembled movement. The movement has served a role which is too important in the external design. However, I really like this act. The new version has continued this bold style, and in my view, made a perfect extension. You know, the platinum material fits the mechanical feel much better than the yellow gold.

An intricate and graceful masterpiece of complexity as well as the symbol of lightness and minimalism, that is what the new Daniel Roth watch brings to us. The sunlight streaming into the Manufacture Daniel Roth workshops, or the silence that pervades them – these soft natural elements inspired the brand’s designers, engineers and master-watchmakers, and indirectly created the horological marvel. This timepiece achieves a striking balance between optimal functionality and visual harmony.

The Tourbillon Lumière Platinum is one of the best watches to integrate the movement view with the exterior look. Reckon that you are given the chance to admire the meticulously hand-crafted movement every time you watch the time, how enjoyable! Over 82 parts make up the constantly moving and luminous tourbillon. The mainplates are sapphire-treated and each openworked bridge highlights a satin-brushed finish. Adorned with diamond-polished hollowed dots, the blue steel chapter ring shares the same material with the serpentine hands, expressing a surprising contrast with the overall effect of crystal-clear transparency.

Anti-reflection sapphire crystals protects the front and back of the Tourbillon Lumière Platinum. It is them that result in high-grade scratch-resistance and offers a easy access to the Calibre DR 780 Tourbillon Squelette movement, which is delicately hand-finished and beautifully decorated. The watch can be called a “all platinum” edition, because its case, dial, serpentine hands, movements, and even the screws are all platinum-made. A midnight blue strap in hand-sewn double-sided alligator leather, completes the new Daniel Roth timepiece, fitted with a white gold folding clasp.
