Diz Adrian Pedrozo:
The two universes I have chosen are the Architecture of 1930s New York and the Kinetic Art, with a Double Flying Tourbillon movement. Universe No. 1: The Architecture of 1930s New York In an atmosphere where jazz music was increasing in popularity, New York's architecture underwent dramatic changes. The buildings climbed higher and higher, to become skyscrapers whose design was simply breathtaking. The city also boasted constructions which combined a variety of geometric shapes in their structure or aesthetic.
The principle that interests us (and that we find in certain constructions) is that of a rectangle at the top of a skyscraper and this same rectangle repeated, much wider, at its base. Many architects, such as Hugh Ferriss and Raymond Hood, used it in their work. This artistic approach has been reinterpreted in the PP01 casing. If you look at the sapphire glass, it emerges from the central rectangle and thus becomes the first point of contact on the vertical plane. This conjures the image of the tip of a skyscraper. The two decorations placed at 12 and 6 o'clock also have a protective function. These elements were particularly difficult to integrate, especially on the visual level, because they have to match the overall aesthetic of the timepiece. All screws are on the base of the case. Representing the base or foundations of "the building", it was important for me to integrate all the bindings at this place. A skyscraper contains a significant number of windows, which have been conveyed through the many openings on the piece.
The Kinetic Art
A Double Flying Tourbillon Movement with its differential mechanism This wonderful mechanical movement has many points in common with the Pedrozo & Piriz concept. It includes two regulating organs, echoing my desire to express two ‘universes’.
The Kinetic Art is thus represented by two Flying Tourbillons, which are visible at all times within an intentionally clear space. The differential mechanism is visible at the back of the watch, showcasing their interplay. The barrels (dual energy sources) have a sliding flange system which allows you to wind the movement using the crown, without risk of breaking the springs.
The movement (self-starting) offers three days of power reserve and requires manual winding. Although the timepiece does not have a power reserve indication, an ingenious system (via the differential) will only make one of the two Flying tourbillon run during the last two hours of remaining energy.
