Vanguart Black Hole Tourbillon - Yas Edition

Our creation, the Blackhole Tourbillon, approaches the landscape of futurism while evoking a sense of wonder and possibility.

During the Islamic Golden Age, geometry, mathematics, mechanical engineering, artistry and decoration all coalesced into creations never before seen or imagined.

This was the primary source of inspiration for this unique Vanguart Blackhole Yas.

The 3-tier automaton dial is entirely decorated with traditional Arabic numerals that were hand-engraved with finely detailed calligraphy aesthetics.
The complexity of this stylized engraving blurs the boundaries between the art and mechanics of the timepiece.

It reminds us of ancient times when art, science, inventions were closely intertwined. This same era witnessed the birth of the masterpieces of Ismail Al-Jazari, the father of robotics and creator of the first great automatons.

This unique creation envisioned by a close friend of Vanguart carries this creative brilliance of the Islamic Golden Age forward into the 21 century.

The highly detailed and mesmerizing engraving work was achieved by our most talented artisans and required over 150 hours to complete.
The hand engraved titanium dial features highly polished arabesques that are contrasted by matte textured finishes thoughout.

The final operation involves manually applying white Super- LumiNova and black lacquer to the reading elements, as well as the colors representing the United Arab Emirates around the edge of the dial.
