At its heart is the caliber KS 7'005, a manual-winding central floating tourbillon composed of 220 components and boasts a power reserve of 120 hours or 5 days, while ensuring optimal accuracy and longevity.

Time Display

The time display mechanism operates peripherally, working around the barrel and the tourbillon mechanism.

The Dials

The KS 05 collection offers striking and precious dial variations, each unique iteration composed of several elegant and functional outer and inner sub dials.

The outer dial, known as the rehaut, is affixed directly onto the case. It carries the time markings and indices, designed here by Kross to promote a highly legible, Instant reading of the time at a glance. Its design and position offer a seamless aesthetic transition from the case to the watch's interior, drawing the eye towards its groundbreaking central floating tourbillon.

The intermediate dial is mounted on top of the movement, specifically on the fixed hour wheel. It serves as a harmonious bridge between the outer dial and the heart of the watch.

The inner dial, designed with an opening at 9 o'clock, is fixed onto the main plate of the movement. Positioned beneath the floating tourbillon and the time display mechanism, this innovative dial design allows a clear view onto the gear train and sets a captivating backdrop for the tourbillon, adding depth and setting a visual stage to display the watch's meticulous engineering.

Each sub-dial is crafted of Blue Aventurine glass, giving the watch a nice shimmering touch. Blue aventurine is made of coloring agent, silica, copper oxide and other metal oxide blended. Its flecked appearance and blue sparkling effect come from the combination, heated and cooled down process of the materials. Once the glass has sufficiently cooled and solidified, it can be shaped and polished to be placed within the dial. This full process ensures that each timepiece can be considered a unique work of art and engineering.
