What if you want to see a mechanical movement as much as possible without affecting the practicality of an automatic? The simplest answer is of course the micro-rotor automatic. This integrates a small diaper into the movement without hiding it from the point of view. It also challenges the manufacturers to bend their watchmaking muscles because more and smaller components are required. However, it is anything but the simplest solution, but the end result is excellent. With this in mind, you will find a look at some of the best micro-rotor automatic watches on the market!
Black Etienne 1902 Small second
Schwarz Etienne is very well known for its impressive in -house movements, and the petite seconds from 1902 is one of the latest tradition that drive this tradition. The elegantly proportioned time is only in three sector -like dials: silver, slate gray or rose gold (salmon!). But the true star of the show can be found with the caliber ASE300.00 around the back. The micro-rotor sends up to 86 hours of energy to the barrel and is connected by four elegant finger bridges. The finishing of everything is from the highest level, for example with hand -polished teeth on the ratchet wheel. Carry on a leather strap and in retail for CHF 18,000.

With the revision of the Tambur two years ago, Louis Vuitton entered the luxury sports clock segment with a bang and came from the stainless steel versions that came as a surprising brown ceramic version!

The rest shows a more contemporary finish style, and the watch is equipped with a ceramic and gold bracelet. It is not limited per se and it is in retail for 75,000 EUR.

Bvlgari very finely automatically yellow gold
It goes without saying that the Bulgari Octo Finissimo is a modern icon of watchmaking. The ultra -thin collection really questioned the status quo and broke the records on the left and right. The Octo -Finisimo automatic is the core of the whole, maybe only 6.40 mm high. Over the years we have seen it in all possible materials and surfaces. This matt sandblasted yellow gold edition is one of the latest and best in the series, which is based on the ultra-thin caliber BVL 138, which is powered by a platinum micro rotor. The equally nervous integrated bracelet corresponds to the case with regard to completion. Part of the permanent collection is in retail for EUR 51,500 EUR.
