ArtyA presents its newest manufacture timepiece: the Purity Wavy Central Tourbillon Purple in a 40 mm case. This watch features a specially designed Wavy case architecture created to showcase the PUR-T4 central tourbillon manufacture movement. The timepiece available in a nine-piece limited edition—in nanosaphir or clear sapphire—displays a distinctive character through its violet sapphire dial. The central tourbillon manufacture calibre, which received a nomination for the 2024 Grand Prix d'Horlogerie, appears in an innovative configuration. The movement now occupies the focal point within the brand's characteristic domed 'Wavy' case, redesigned in a 40 mm format.
The Purity Central Tourbillon Movement
ArtyA's manufacture PUR-T4 calibre showcases horological craftsmanship by positioning an impressive 19 mm tourbillon at the dial's center. The sapphire case construction provides complete transparency, directing attention to this captivating mechanical display while the dial's rich purple coloring enhances the watch's distinctive appeal.
The centrally positioned tourbillon demonstrates advanced horological expertise, counteracting gravitational effects to achieve exceptional accuracy. Operating at 28,800 vph represents a remarkable accomplishment for a tourbillon of this size, delivering superior timekeeping performance while enhancing the mechanism's visual appeal.
Two barrels collaborate to generate sufficient power for maintaining a substantial 72-hour power reserve. Considering the energy requirements of such a large, high-frequency tourbillon, this represents a significant technical achievement and demonstrates ArtyA's innovative engineering capabilities.
Peripheral Time Display
The PUR-T4 powering the new Purity Wavy Central Tourbillon Purple 40 marks ArtyA's first automatic tourbillon movement. To emphasize the central tourbillon, traditional center hands have been eliminated. Instead, time indication relies on two elegant peripheral indicators that appear from beneath the sapphire dial, creating a sophisticated and artistic approach to time reading.
Sapphire Wavy Case Design
The 40 mm sapphire Wavy case represents an innovative design philosophy. Completely reconceived to accommodate the central tourbillon caliber, it maintains the collection's characteristic flowing lines while providing an optimal display for the manufacture movement. The case's elevated structure creates visual depth, highlighting the central tourbillon's mesmerizing motion. Sapphire's natural properties, including exceptional scratch and wear resistance, ensure the panoramic view remains clear and brilliant over time.
The dial utilizes authentic colored sapphire material and includes an engraved chapter ring fitted with SuperLumiNova markers. Its rich violet coloration provides vibrant contrast that accentuates the calibre's performance.
