About this entry
73% of key specs known. Missing: movement, hardening, crown, bracelet offered.
Skeletonised tourbillon whose case middle is Swiss sapphire inside a CNC-machined 316L steel frame (bezel, lugs and back), so the case material is recorded as 'other'. Movement: 'Hangzhou 3452 Co-Axial Tourbillon movement with manual winding' (described as twin-barrel), 29 jewels, 28,800 vph, 80 hours, hours and minutes; no movement file exists. Brand specs: 43mm, 49.5mm lug-to-lug, 13mm thick (crystal not mentioned), 22mm lugs, 3 ATM (from the description), sapphire with AR coating (side not stated) and a sapphire exhibition back, diamond-cut hands with Swiss TriTec lume, calf leather on quick-release bars with a deployant clasp; weight '92gr and 165gr with steel bracelet' (whether 92 g is the head or on the strap isn't stated). Launched on Kickstarter in September 2019 with the Vanguard V8: WristReview gives 43mm, 13mm and 49mm lug-to-lug (the brand's 49.5mm is used) and a campaign price of CHF 1,299, 'CHF900 off retail'. The Red Gold versions have a rose-gold-tone case (photos); 'Black Diamond' and 'Diamond Silver' are Waldhoff colour names, not gem-setting. All six listings were sold out on 31 October 2026 and the model isn't in the store menu; Waldhoff hasn't said it's discontinued.
