DIVINE CURVES
A balance of proportions , a dramatic arc in each curve , the depth of the movement – if the Tourbillon B1.618 Openwork ’ s color accent catches the eye , it is the spirit behind it that draws you in . Uniting the sensory , cultural , mathematical and mechanical , this skeleton tourbillon was conceived and designed according to the principles of the Golden Ratio of 1.618 and the Fibonacci sequence . The tonneau shape of the case , the design of its movement , the Italian aesthetic sensibility : Everything within it expresses a harmony of lines and a natural sense of balance that makes it a watch of our time for our time .
New to the world of complicated watches , Bianchet is a creative contemporary Swiss watch brand founded on the modern reinterpretation of the Golden Ratio – 1.618 – in the world of fine watchmaking .
A defining feature , the sleek tonneau shape is echoed by two embedded lines of color that underscore the sense of balance the watch conveys . At the origin of the creative process , the Golden Ratio of 1.618 provides the mathematical basis for elegantly bringing into being a modern and timeless testament to beauty in watchmaking , where sophistication and simplicity play off each other . Divine curves , perfect proportions , a creative space that brings out the aesthetic in the geometric – Bianchet lays the foundation for its inspiration through its faith in the purity of lines , its passion for contemporary design , its passion for architecture , coupled with a pure , intuitive sensibility nourished by Italian roots .
