Black Sparrow
Power reserve: 56 h, 28800 vph
The story of aircraft is not just about planes, but the bold and the brave who would fly them straight to heaven, even when the bells of hell rang on the earth: the Great War. Taking inspiration from the simple looking yet complex instruments from the first air fighter’s cockpits, the BLACK SPARROW collection pays tribute to the heroic journey of Eugene Bullard, being the first Afro-American combat pilot enlisted during the WWI in the French aviation army. Take flight with audacity, a time instrument from the past on the wrist, sand dial with Art Nouveau-inspired luminescent numerals, in a new steel case fixed with screws and bolts, mounted on a leather Barenia Brown. Powered by the new caliber RSV-240, a proprietary patented three-complication module coupled to a manufacture movement (LJP-G100 base), combining a cathedral hand as retrograde minute, a jumping hour and a 56-Hour power reserve (not displayed on the dial). Delivered in a prestigious wooden box with an additional NATO leather strap.
