The story behind this Blackout Watches XPE Tourbillon Ultrablack
The House of Blackout Watches is rethinking access to major complications. Born of a democratising approach, it creates timepieces where technicality and design merge. This XPE Tourbillon Ultrablack timepiece, bearing the number 046/100, illustrates the brand's stylistic evolution. Abandoning the tonneau shape of its beginnings, the Manufacture has developed this round, facetted geometry to offer an alternative to lovers of classic architectural lines, while retaining the raw look of forged composite. This monochromatic approach further radicalises the aesthetic statement.
Case, calibre and bracelet of this XPE Tourbillon Ultrablack
The casing of this watch unfurls to a diameter of 42.5 mm and a thickness of 14.8 mm. Crafted in forged UAC carbon, the case reveals a random moiré texture, unique to each model. A bezel secured by 8 black screws surrounds a monochrome skeleton dial, enhanced by dark Roman hour-markers and hands with white luminescent tips. The self-winding mechanical movement, Calibre 3D50A, incorporates a flying tourbillon at 6 o'clock. Powered at a frequency of 4 Hz, this motor ensures a power reserve of 72 hours. The open sapphire caseback reveals the openworked oscillating weight. A black vulcanised rubber strap, fitted with quick-change pumps, completes this configuration, which is water-resistant to 100 metres.
Why this Blackout Watches
The choice of this stealth declination appeals to collectors in search of absolute discretion. The absence of bright colour focuses attention on the perpetual rotation of the tourbillon cage within the dial. At The Swiss Collector, we recognise the appropriateness of this silent aesthetic, which highlights the contrast between the darkness of the matt carbon and the metallic shine of the moving gears. It is a sober and accomplished interpretation of contemporary haute horlogerie, offering a particularly studied balance between investment and mechanical pleasure.
