David Candaux DC1 Platinum Art Of The Tourbillon

The first piece created by David Candaux is called the DC1 First Eight. Crafted in steel, it emerged from the Solliat workshop in 2017, housing a flying tourbillon inclined at 30 degrees. The architecture of the DC1—a magic crown at 6 o’clock, an asymmetrical stepped case, a transparent case back revealing the cascading H74 caliber, and traditional decorations on a movement made entirely of natural titanium—became the foundation of the collection. This architecture has remained unchanged ever since.

In 2026, for the first time, David Candaux ventured into platinum. The DC1 Platine Art du Tourbillon, produced in a limited series of 8 pieces, explores what this material brings to an already proven timepiece: a new density, a different presence, and the demands that come with it.
