Foversta shares an exclusive first wristshot of the Boucheron Snake Tourbillon, a unique timepiece featuring a Girard-Perregaux Three-Bridges Tourbillon movement. This post highlights the intersection of high jewelry and haute horology, sparking a discussion among collectors about the integration of these two distinct crafts.
Which is the Tourbillon with 3 Gold Bridges... Jewels are jewels, horology is horology... The blend of the two let me very cold. To say the least. Best, Nicolas

An artistic use of our favorite GP tourby! Thanks for the pictures, ! Cheers, Daos
