The present titanium wristwatch is numbered 11 of a limited edition of 125 pieces only . The distinctive feature of this present wristwatch is that the tourbillon carriage rotates on an axis which is perpendicular to that of the balance wheel , rather than parallel to it . This innovative arrangement of the balance wheel and escapement minimize the running errors caused by many vertical and horizontal positions of the wristwatch on the wearer ’ s wrist . The tourbillon carriage can be admired through the glazed display sapphire back and is also featured on the dial in a very discreet yet innovative way . A small rotating disc is linked to the tourbillon carriage and is placed in the subsidiary seconds . Offered in almost like new condition , this present wristwatch is highly distinctive .
