Bugatti Type 390

Containing the world’s smallest ball bearings, the latest collaboration between the watchmaker from the Swiss valley of Val-de-Travers and the French-based automaker is another example of incredible innovation. Just like the engine from a racecar can be removed from the chassis to perform upgrades or modifications, so too can the movement of this watch be removed from the case. The power derived from the movement utilizes a “worm-screw” to connect the dials and the displays on the watch. A flying tourbillon is expertly positioned in a side display on the watch case, keeping the actual black openworked dial free of any clutter. With 302 components and a gold case thickness that exceeds 18 mm, the Bugatti 390 is certain to stand out on one’s wrist.
