Representing the artistry, dedication and skill portrayed by the chiron1, four new editions of the timepiece have been revealed as the pinnacle of the automotive industry meets the height of watchmaking.
Intricately designed and crafted with extraordinary detail, the four new Chiron Tourbillon watch editions epitomize Bugatti in every way. The timepiece features a stunning movement in all versions of the watch, comprising 578 components and marrying engine and watch design in one astonishing creation. Displayed as an engine block, scaled down as a true descendent of the famous 8.0-litre W16 engine, the on-demand engine animation is placed under a huge sapphire crystal. In addition, powering the timepiece is a flying tourbillon movement, inclined at 30 degrees.
