Emera’s Cyborg Exoskeleton Tourbillon Super Structurae is a stunning portrait of futuristic watch design
As a younger player in the prodigious world of Swiss watchmaking, Emera prides itself in its sense of creativity and horological ingenuity. The Maison’s collections are exercises in new aesthetic frontiers, opting for more futuristic styling laced with centuries-old mechanical practices. This is especially evident in one of its flagship pieces, the Cyborg Exoskeleton Tourbillon Super Structurae.
Designer Patrick Freiburghaus and watchmaker Cyrano Devanthey hoped to create a timepiece that speaks of a reconfigured cutting-edge super movement. It’s a watch that enjoys unconventional contours, sharper edges and engineered movements, articulating something straight out of a sci-fi fever dream.
It’s a stunning interpretation of an ultra-modern Swiss watch, and is limited to just nine pieces in circulation. The closer one looks at the dial, the better one sees the snakeskin pattern. It is embellished with 40 pieces of carbon fibre scales, with each scale carefully placed by hand and coated in bronze particles.
The Cyborg Exoskeleton Tourbillon Super Structurae is powered by the in-house Calibre MRA 01, featuring automatic winding. It also comes with a 44-hour power reserve and vibrates at a frequency of 4 Hz, or 28,800 vibrations per hour. It is sure to withstand even the most rigorous adventures thanks to its Grade 5 titanium case with a replaceable double seal.
Meanwhile, placed at the bottom of the dial is its landmark 60-second tourbillon, designed exclusively to fit the shape of the Cyborg model. Making the piece more remarkable is the small sapphire crystal window placed at 6 o’clock. It’s a treat for wearers, as it reveals the flying tourbillon found at the heart of it. The tourbillon cage itself includes a balance wheel and escapement that complements the geometric pattern of the titanium case.
