Confessions of a Self-Proclaimed Freak: The Story Behind My First Ulysse Nardin
Rebellion T-500 Titanium / Red
With the T-500, performance enters a new dimension. It takes the form of a watch with an audacious design and uncompromising mechanics.
In 2010, with the T-1000 watch, Rebellion Timepieces shakes up the codes and conventions of traditional watchmaking and at the same time signs its first achievement. Its sculptural titanium case (46.7×46.9×19.5mm), born under the inspired pencil of Eric Giroud, integrates a revolutionary manual winding movement. The caliber with double inclined balance has a record power reserve of 1,000 hours! Six barrels are powered in parallel via a central transmission shaft driving two chains, and discharge in series to provide linear power to the regulator. The hours and minutes are displayed in a new way using two rollers.
This year, Rebellion Timepieces proves its ability to innovate with the T-500. Its direct affiliation with the T-1000 is unmistakable: a case with an original and stylish architecture is associated with a high-performance caliber with 450 hours of power reserve!
