Wyler Geneve Tourbillon - a Wonder of Shock-Protection

The brand's hand-wound tourbillon caliber WT001 is housed in a titanium case framed in a carbon fibre resin construction that forms the lightweight but strong case middle. The bezel and case-back are fixed to the carbon fibre frame with help of titanium screws cushioned by small springs. This way the Wyler Geneve watchmakers developed a sandwich-like design used for leaving the movement suspended within the timepiece.The second level of protection is represented by the crown lock developed according the patented Wyler Geneve design. The lock is attached to the case on either side of the crown. To operate the crown, it is necessary to pull the lock out on both sides.The new Wyler Geneve Tourbillon is based upon matchless combination of shock-absorbing features, so that the watch's owner is sure his timepiece will resist any rigors of everyday wearing. The robustly designed case houses the tourbillon bridges provided with additional shock absorption. The wearer of the timepiece will be able to maintain the highest accuracy level for the movement with help of the special trust index display found on the watch's dial.The contemporary case design is the first feature in the Wyler Geneve Tourbillon's triple shock protection system. The case, being a real feat of miniature engineering, is crafted in high-end materials.
