Founded just eight years ago, Bianchet doesn’t have centuries of history behind it—but it has already won us over with its boldness and meticulous attention to detail. The brand dove straight into the deep end, choosing to focus on the most gloriously unnecessary yet captivating mechanical feature in haute horlogerie: the tourbillon. And I say “unnecessary” because the original reason Abraham-Louis Breguet invented the tourbillon over two centuries ago no longer applies today. Back then, pocket watches sat upright in vests all day long, constantly subjected to gravity in a single position, which impacted their accuracy. But that issue no longer exists with modern wristwatches. Still, the tourbillon continues to charm and remains one of the most desirable features in high-end timepieces.
After starting its journey with tourbillon-focused models, Bianchet decided to raise the bar. The Flying Tourbillon Sport GMT was specifically designed for frequent travelers, allowing for the simultaneous reading of two time zones—local and home time. Set within the upper portion of the skeletonized dial, a stunning second time display appears on a 24-hour scale (thus also serving as a day-night indicator). A bright sky-blue rotating globe sits proudly at the top, synchronized with the hour hand and rotating accordingly. Thanks to a clever function selector integrated into the crown, winding the movement and setting both time zones is an intuitive, effortless process.
On the lower part of the dial sits a hand-assembled flying tourbillon in titanium, produced entirely in-house at Bianchet’s Swiss ateliers. The movement is manually wound and boasts a generous 90-hour power reserve. Despite its technical sophistication, the watch is incredibly lightweight, durable, and ergonomic—it withstands shocks up to 5,000G and is water-resistant to 100 meters. In other words, it’s made to be worn comfortably during sports, whether on land or in water.
Like all Bianchet creations, the BIANCHET Flying Tourbillon Sport GMT has been designed according to the golden ratio. The tonneau-shaped case measures 43mm in diameter and features hand-finished surfaces.
Two case material options are available: one in high-density carbon infused with titanium powder, and another in a hybrid carbon–titanium blend. The model is offered in six striking color variations and comes with two vulcanized rubber straps—one black and one color-matched to the dial.
