Laid bare, with nothing to hide – Purnell launches Escape Absolute Sapphire for Watches and Wonders 2021

The World’s first Double triple axis tourbillon in a full sapphire case with movement bridges and dial in sapphire. The world’s fastest triple axis tourbillon called “Spherion” each outer cage set with 152 brilliant-cut diamonds.

Absolute: the Art of emptiness.

That is the spirit of the Escape II Absolute Sapphire. Transparency in its purest form, highlighting the very best of what Purnell creates: pure, Swiss made craftsmanship and the world’s fastest double triple-axis tourbillon movement. What you don’t see here is what matters. The case, dial, power-reserve, hour geartrain and dial bridges are made of transparent sapphire, revealing the skillfully constructed six barrels powering the diamond-set double Spherion movement. Laid bare, with nothing to hide.

 

 

Escape II Absolute Sapphire, 48mm diameter full Sapphire case, Sapphire dial and applied blue baguette sapphires hour indexes; translucid rubber strap.

P03 caliber with diamond-set Spherions, 32 hours power reserve and 32 N mm torque.

Limited edition: Unique piece

Maurizio Mazzocchi Purnell CEO states: “After several years of R&D I am delighted to present a full sapphire Escape II collection which enhances the caliber’s weightless appearance and mesmerizing Spherion motion at its best. A collection of unique pieces with other color tinted sapphire will follow this year such as: pink, green and blue. I am looking forward to personally presenting you this collection digitally during Watches & Wonders 2021 – see you on screen!”
