The Haldimann H8 – a flying sculpture

Novelties · · by Christian Bissener


Haldimann H8 flying tourbillon with gold balance and steel cage seen from the side under a domed crystal

The H8 by Haldimann is known as the flying sculpture. Over a black dial without hands or indexes, only the tourbillon is visible, floating in the centre.

The tourbillon cage measures 17.8 mm in diameter and the balance 14.5 mm, beating at 18,000 vibrations per hour. It is a hypnotic piece, and it makes one think about what time really is.
