Complexity Double Cônillon 12H/6H — A Total Mechanical Spectacle
At Watches & Wonders 2026, ArtyA Genève presents the Complexity Double Cônillon 12H/6H, a world-first horological construction limited to just nine pieces.
At its core, the creation introduces two inclined tourbillons positioned at 12 o’clock and 6 o’clock, operating within a sapphire crystal architecture that eliminates visual obstruction and exposes the full depth of the mechanism.
A WORLD FIRST IN TOURBILLON ARCHITECTURE
The Complexity introduces a dual inclined tourbillon system, where neither the balance, cage, nor pallet fork share parallel axes. Each regulator follows a conical motion rather than a cylindrical one, extending gravitational compensation across multiple orientations.
Unlike conventional single-axis tourbillons, this system places two inclined regulators in opposition, forming a complete vertical correction system across the wrist’s natural positions.
THE DIFFERENTIAL: MECHANICAL BALANCE ENGINEERING
A central differential distributes energy evenly between both tourbillons.
This ensures:
identical torque delivery to each regulator
elimination of energy asymmetry
stabilised chronometric performance across both axes
The result is a continuously averaged rate, improving consistency beyond what a single tourbillon system can achieve.
CALIBRE ARCHITECTURE
Developed with Purtec Sàrl (Vallorbe), the movement comprises 287 components and 44 jewels.
Key specifications:
21,600 vph (3 Hz)
50-hour power reserve
twin inclined tourbillons with 30-second rotation
differential-driven energy distribution
sapphire-exposed movement architecture
Each component is engineered to support a structural system where precision and visual spectacle operate simultaneously.
SAPPHIRE CASE ARCHITECTURE
The case is carved entirely from synthetic sapphire, requiring over 120 hours of machining and 140 hours of polishing.
Key design features include:
triple-concave middle construction
dual optical domes at 12 and 6 o’clock
faceted sapphire crown
42 × 48 mm curved ergonomic profile
The architecture functions as both a protective structure and a magnifying optical system, enhancing visibility of the tourbillons.
DIAL CONCEPTS
Two executions define the visual identity:
Griffe Dial - Rhodium-black base with radial 3D engraving, creating a dynamic, explosive texture contrasted with mirror-polished indices.
Matte Dial - Uniform micro-blasted surface with mineral depth, prioritising purity and minimal light diffusion.
DESIGN & GENESIS
Designed by Jérémie Arpa, the Complexity represents a unified vision of case, movement, and dial architecture. The concept originates from a single objective: exposing extreme mechanical complexity without compromise through transparency and sculptural geometry.
FINAL WORD
The Complexity Double Cônillon is positioned not as a conventional wristwatch, but as a mechanical sculpture in motion, where inclined tourbillons, sapphire engineering, and differential regulation converge into one of the most technically ambitious creations in contemporary haute horlogerie.
Availability
The Complexity Double Cônillon 12H/6H by ArtyA Genève is available as a limited edition of 9 pieces exclusively through the official brand channels.
