A Sapphire-Clad Expression of Contemporary Haute Horlogerie
ArtyA expands its acclaimed Purity collection with the introduction of the Purity Tourbillon Sport Edition, a bold limited edition that combines technical watchmaking expertise with contemporary sporting character. Produced in only nine examples, the new creation showcases the brand's commitment to transparency, innovation, and independent haute horlogerie.
Designed around ArtyA's signature philosophy of exposing the beauty of mechanical architecture, the Purity Tourbillon Sport Edition features a fully transparent sapphire case, a skeletonised manufacture movement, and one of the largest flying tourbillons currently found in modern watchmaking.
The Manufacture Flying Tourbillon Calibre
At the heart of the watch is an exclusive in-house movement entirely designed and manufactured by ArtyA.
The fully skeletonized calibre features:
Flying tourbillon
Double parallel barrel architecture
Central hours, minutes, and seconds
70-hour power reserve
4Hz frequency (28,800 vibrations per hour)
One of the movement's most remarkable elements is its oversized 18mm flying tourbillon, placing it among the largest examples in contemporary haute horlogerie. The tourbillon completes one full rotation every 60 seconds while serving as the running seconds display.
The calibre is further equipped with a variable-inertia balance wheel designed to enhance stability, shock resistance, and long-term chronometric precision.
Hand-Finished Skeleton Architecture
The movement showcases extensive skeletonisation and hand-finishing throughout.
Each bridge features:
Hand-polished bevels
Mirror-finished edges
Openworked architecture
Personalised engraved barrels
The extensive finishing transforms the movement into a sculptural mechanical display visible from every angle through the sapphire construction.
The Wavy Sapphire Case
The Purity Tourbillon Sport Edition is housed inside ArtyA's distinctive 44mm Wavy Sapphire Case, crafted from exceptionally pure sapphire crystal.
With a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, sapphire offers outstanding scratch resistance while delivering exceptional transparency.
Key case features include:
44mm diameter
Absolute Sapphire© construction
Sapphire crown
Screwed sapphire caseback
Fully transparent architecture
The case allows an uninterrupted view of the movement, reinforcing ArtyA's philosophy that nothing within the watch should remain hidden.
Four Distinctive Color Expressions
The Sport Edition introduces vibrant color accents that transform the personality of the watch.
Collectors can choose from four launch colors:
Deep Red - A bold and energetic configuration that enhances the watch's sporty presence.
Luminous Orange - A vibrant expression emphasising the contemporary nature of the design.
Deep Blue - A sophisticated and technical interpretation of the Sport Edition.
Electric Turquoise - A striking modern colorway that highlights the transparency of the sapphire case.
Each watch is delivered with a matching strap and visible caseback gasket. Both elements can be changed through authorised ArtyA retailers, allowing owners to refresh the appearance of the watch over time.-down crown ensures water resistance to 100 metres.
Sport Character Meets Haute Horlogerie
Rather than treating color as decoration, ArtyA uses it as a visual language. The colored gaskets visible through the sapphire case create a dynamic contrast against the transparent architecture while preserving the purity of the movement design. This approach allows the watch to embrace a sporting identity without compromising its high-watchmaking credentials.
A Philosophy Built Around Transparency
The Purity Tourbillon Sport Edition continues ArtyA's exploration of transparency as both a technical and philosophical concept. The circular architecture of the movement serves as a central design theme, reflecting notions of continuity, harmony, and mechanical perfection. Every visible component contributes to the overall visual balance of the watch, from the suspended tourbillon to the openworked bridges and engraved barrels. The result is a timepiece that combines contemporary aesthetics with traditional haute horlogerie craftsmanship.
