HOW A TOURBILLON WATCH CAN TAKE THE CONCEPT OF "BESPOKE" TO A GALACTIC LEVEL

by Flora Hilger

A unique piece of the universe appears when chronometry and the cosmos merge. As the melody of a newborn star rotating around a planet, a high-end watch takes form on our wrist by embracing us in celestial creativity.

KF watches are a perfect example of this philosophy, which sees in a watch a universe in its own right. As it happens in the galaxy, and in life, the options are limitless with KF watches, ranging from a futuristic mechanism to total customization, aligning the watch manufacturing with your individuality. This real exclusivity stems from the fact that each KF model is, by definition, unique in terms of both design and construction. Beyond the design, it is obviously technical research that makes the difference with respect to other complications. The patents characterizing the EI8HT-Meteorite model have been developed with a very specific purpose: to guarantee absolute precision and maximum protection for the watch. The Spirograph® balance, the fine adjustment, the thermos-compensation, the reinforced anti-magnetism, the balance-stop mechanism and the crown-based antishock device are all elements that combine to create a truly extraordinary watch embodying the deepest Swiss tradition, and radiating a resolutely contemporary style. And the meteorite dial, on the background of the rotating hands, makes the analogy with the dance of the planets around the sun even more real.
