VASTO – “Universo” Tourbillon by Vasto
As the star model in the Universo collection, the Tourbillon represents the peak of horological complications by Vasto, a brand engaged in a perpetual quest for excellence. The tourbillon bridge shaped like a treble clef will appeal to aficionados of both fine timepieces and classical music. Such meticulous attention to detail is further displayed in the magnificent 50-diamond gem-setting adorning the tourbillon bridge and the dial opening at 9 o’clock ensuring an unobstructed view. The result is an exceptional rose gold timepiece radiating an exquisitely poetic aura.
