02 / ENGINEERINGExploded Architecture

Built like an
aircraft.
Tuned like an
engine.

Every component carries load. Nothing is decorative. The R1 architecture borrows from F1 chassis design — a tubular monocoque suspending the movement on titanium bridges.

// REVERSE SIDE

The signature side.

Flip the R1 and the machine reveals itself. A skeletonised tungsten rotor sweeps across the calibre, framed by sapphire and an individually laser-etched serial. Every piece carries its own number — 1 through 50.
