of the one designed for Blancpain by Vincent Calabrese. And I’m surprised that Ariel Adams doesn’t mention it in his ABTW article. Blancpain: Flying Tourbillon Best, Emmanuel
The flying tourbillon designed by Vincent Calabrese and manufactured by Frédéric Piuguet for Blancpain has always seemed to me one of the most beautiful because the escapement is made so visible and because I like the shape of the flying cage . This is th
movement that dragged itself around the dial and needed no hands because it was also the hands. Early Freaks are still one of my favorite watches! Here's my UN grail from that magic UN period.

In my opinion, the Flying Tourbillon by Vincent Calabrese - here in a Blancapain Léman - is still aesthetically unrivalled. A joy to look at, especially on a rainy December day.
