The Heritage Tourbillon Double Peripheral Limited Edition
from Carl F. Bucherer is a true masterpiece with floating
tourbillon and a special tribute to the rich watchmaking
heritage of the brand. The CFB T3000, a unique movement
developed entirely in-house, is a world first that combines
a peripheral automatic winding system and a peripherally
mounted tourbillon that appears to float. Further high-
lights are the stop-seconds function of the tourbillon cage
and the COSC-certified chronometer movement.
