Independent Swiss watchmaker Bianchet has expanded its Rotondo UltraFino collection with a striking new 18K Rose Gold edition. Maintaining the collection's signature ultra-thin architecture, the latest model introduces a warmer aesthetic while preserving the technical innovation of the Maison's in-house flying tourbillon movement.
Powered by the Bianchet Calibre UR01, the new Rotondo UltraFino Rose Gold balances precious materials with advanced engineering, reflecting the brand's philosophy of "Form Above All."
A New Interpretation of the Rotondo UltraFino
The new Rotondo UltraFino Rose Gold builds upon the titanium version while introducing greater warmth and visual contrast.
Rather than altering the movement architecture, Bianchet has focused on material harmony, pairing the richness of 18K rose gold with deep black technical accents throughout the case and movement.
The result is a contemporary interpretation that blends sculptural elegance with mechanical performance.
The Ultra-Thin Flying Tourbillon Calibre UR01
At the heart of the watch is the Bianchet UR01, an in-house automatic flying tourbillon movement engineered almost entirely from Grade 5 titanium.

Black rubber gasket beneath the bezel
Black lacquered crown
Skeletonised architecture
Together, these elements create a visual balance between traditional luxury and modern engineering.
Form Above All
Bianchet continues to build every timepiece around its core design philosophy known as "Form Above All."
Rather than treating geometry as decoration, the Maison uses it as the structural foundation of every component.
The Rotondo UltraFino's rounded case combines:
Flowing curved surfaces
Sharp architectural facets
Balanced proportions
Dynamic visual tension
Its openworked movement extends this philosophy internally, ensuring every visible component serves both aesthetic and functional purposes.

Notable finishing includes:
Satin-brushed case surfaces
Mirror-polished bevels
Hand-finished bridges
More than 30 hours of hand-bevelling
Skeletonized movement architecture
Hand-finished wheels and components
Every surface has been carefully refined to highlight the movement's architectural depth.
