The transparency of sapphire
The BR 01 Cyber Skull Sapphire is a UFO of the watchmaking world. The base is a Cyber Skull, which has nevertheless been developed entirely in colourless sapphire crystal. It plays the transparency card to the full, including in the translucent rubber strap. The skull and crossbones are captured between two sapphire crystals, so that they appear to be floating in the air.
The movement
The BR 01 Cyber Skull Sapphire combines design and watchmaking excellence. This high-end watch boasts a BR-CAL.209 automaton movement. Specifically developed for the watch, this manual-wind skeleton calibre is almost invisible. It takes the form of the skull. The spring balance placed at “twelve o’clock” symbolises the brain in this skull which is very much alive.
