Revelation R04 Tourbillon featuring the Magical Watch Dial.

Swiss watch brand Revelation presents new model Revelation R04 Tourbillon featuring the Magical Watch Dial.

Living up to their name since their emergence in  2007 Revelation are known for their watches with a novel mechanism: by rotating the watch’s bezel the caliber beneath is revealed thanks to the use of the patented dial using polarizing discs that turn transparent when rotated.  Rotating in the other direction obscures the dial, making it a matte black.  Giving you the choice between a traditional or a skeleton dial.

Through a collaboration with the Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology (CSEM) the optimal disc transparency was developed for use in the Magical Watch Dial. And if this isnt novel enough for you, this new model features a tourbillon with a unique configuration resembling a carousel called the Tourbillon Manège – a new type of complication featuring an exceptional rotating regulating system. The four series-coupled barrels ensure a 48-hour power reserve for this hand-wound movement.
