Franc Vila Superligero Skeleton Tourbillon

Swiss luxury watchmaker Franc Vila believes in bold and instantly recognizable designs, married to excellence in mechanical functionality. The FVa Nº 6 Tourbillon Planétaire Skeleton SuperLigero Concept, which debuted at Baselworld 2008, was built not merely to look pretty but also to have good mechanical strength – a difficult proposition given the very nature of skeleton watches. The movement has been built for the first time ever in an Aluminium-Lithium based alloy named ”Lightnium” by the brand. This new material is an extremely low density metal, formerly reserved for state of the art aeronautical engineering. It’s main characteristics are lightness combined with high tensile strength, allowing a structural weight reduction and an increase in elastic modulus.  In summary: this watch is bad ass.
