Mauboussin ?Oryx Tourbillon?, No.1 in a special edition.

The visual identity is researched, studied: a family resemblance, recognizable in the curves of the bezel, of a sober elegance. Mauboussin cannot however, prevent itself from emphasizing its ?home gene?, the jewellery knowledge. Sometimes, the bezel and even the dial are then, set with precious stones. Seduction of the jeweller, Mauboussin authorizes itself some exceptional models like a musical automat watch, made in a hundred of specimens or this magnificent Tourbillion, presented as followed.
