Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier adds to its range of extra-thin movements with a new hand-wound calibre with flying tourbillon at 9 o’clock. While remarkably robust, the Seed VMF 5430 remains one of the thinnest tourbillon movements around. Its design allows numerous possibilities to personalise the bridges and the tourbillon cage in titanium, for optimal adjustment. A blend of traditional handcrafting and industrial capacity, the Seed VMF 5430 is a showcase for the skill and expertise within Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier, which extend far beyond the production of high-end movements. Thanks to its Private Label service, which has the benefit of the group’s vertically integrated structure, the Manufacture is able to produce a complete watch to the client’s exact requirements and preferences.
