Description

AGELOCER Skeleton – Flying Tourbillon, Hand-Wind Cal.9001, 80H Power Reserve, 40mm

The AGELOCER Skeleton carries a flying tourbillon – a complication that in Swiss watchmaking typically begins at four figures and extends well beyond. The Cal.9001 is a hand-wound mechanical movement with an 80-hour power reserve, 28,800 VPH frequency, Novodiac shock absorption, and a fully skeletonized architecture displayed through sapphire crystal at the front. At 40mm and 9.7mm on a black cowhide leather strap, the Skeleton weighs 63.5g. Available in Black Classic, Blue Classic, Black Diamonds, and Blue Diamonds.

Flying Tourbillon

The tourbillon was invented to counteract the effects of gravity on a mechanical movement’s accuracy when held vertically. A flying tourbillon is a version with no upper bridge supporting the cage – the tourbillon cage appears to float, suspended only from below, which makes the rotation of the cage (once per minute) fully visible. In Swiss complications watchmaking, the tourbillon is a prestige complication that requires significant hand-fitting time and commands significant prices. The Cal.9001 flying tourbillon is visible through the skeleton dial in continuous rotation.

Hand-Wind Mechanism

Cal.9001 is a hand-wound movement – powered by manually turning the crown to charge the mainspring, with no automatic rotor. Hand-wound movements are typically thinner than automatics (no rotor adds case height), which contributes to the Skeleton’s 9.7mm profile. Winding the watch is a daily ritual with the movement: 20-30 crown turns each morning maintains the power reserve through the day and into the next.

80-Hour Power Reserve

A hand-wound movement with 80-hour power reserve stores more than three days of energy in its mainspring. From a full wind on Friday morning you can leave the Skeleton unworn through the weekend and pick it up Monday with the movement still running. This is an unusually long reserve for a hand-wound movement at any price.

Diamond Variants

Black Diamonds and Blue Diamonds variants set the bezel or case with stones for a more formal, jewellery-level presentation of the skeleton architecture. The diamonds add a second layer of optical interest to a dial already occupied by a rotating tourbillon and open movement architecture. For formal evening wear or gift purposes the Diamond variants read as a level above the Classic options.

The Tourbillon as a Daily Watch

The tourbillon’s practical accuracy benefit in modern watches is debated – in wristwatches that spend more time horizontal (on the wrist) than vertical (in a pocket), the original anti-gravity purpose matters less than in the pocket watches for which it was invented. What a tourbillon provides in a modern context is something else: the visual experience of extraordinary mechanical precision in motion. The tourbillon cage of Cal.9001 rotates once per minute – exactly once, measurably, continuously. You can time it. You can watch it complete its rotation. It is mechanical art with an accuracy justification that persists from its history and a visual statement that requires no history to appreciate.

At 40mm and 9.7mm the AGELOCER Skeleton is proportioned for daily wear. At 63.5g it is light enough to forget on the wrist. The sapphire crystal keeps the skeleton architecture clear and protected. The 80-hour power reserve means you can stop wearing it Friday evening and resume Monday. The AGELOCER Skeleton is available in Black Classic, Blue Classic, Black Diamonds, and Blue Diamonds. Backed by Wclocks 1-year warranty.

Wear It For

The flying tourbillon skeleton is a collector piece for wrists that want to wear something genuinely different.

Watch Collectors

In a watch collection the flying tourbillon skeleton is the complication piece – the watch that demonstrates what mechanical horology can do when pushed toward its engineering limits. The Cal.9001 at this price delivers the complication; the AGELOCER Skeleton delivers it in a wearable 40mm case.

Evening and Formal Occasions

Under event lighting the rotating tourbillon cage and open skeleton architecture create movement and light play that no conventional dial can replicate. The Diamond variants are appropriate for formal events and black tie. Classic variants work from business formal through smart casual.

Daily Statement Piece

At 40mm and 9.7mm the Skeleton is proportioned for daily wear without the complications-watch heaviness of larger tourbillon pieces. The 80-hour power reserve and reliable Cal.9001 make it a functional daily automatic. The tourbillon makes it interesting every day.

Significant Gift

The AGELOCER Skeleton is the gift appropriate for a significant occasion – a milestone birthday, a career achievement, a wedding gift for the watch enthusiast. A flying tourbillon at any price is a statement of appreciation. Arrives in presentation packaging.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a flying tourbillon?
A tourbillon is a rotating cage containing the escapement (balance wheel, escape wheel, and pallet fork) that rotates once per minute. This rotation was designed to average out the positional errors that gravity introduces in a mechanical movement when held vertically. A flying tourbillon specifically has no upper bridge above the cage – it is cantilevered from below only – which allows the cage’s full rotation to be seen unobstructed. The visual effect is of the tourbillon cage floating freely within the movement, spinning once per minute. In fine watchmaking the tourbillon is a prestige complication that requires skilled hand-fitting and considerable time to assemble correctly.
Is the movement hand-wound or automatic?
Hand-wound only – Cal.9001 has no automatic rotor. This means the movement must be wound daily by turning the crown. Approximately 20-30 crown turns in the morning provides sufficient mainspring tension for a full day’s wear and contributes to the 80-hour reserve. The absence of a rotor allows the 9.7mm case thickness – automatic rotors add height to the movement stack. If you prefer an automatic movement that self-winds without daily intervention, the AGELOCER World Timer (also at Wclocks) offers an in-house automatic with similar power reserve.
What are the Diamond variants?
Black Diamonds and Blue Diamonds variants feature stone setting on the bezel or case elements, adding a gem-set quality to the skeleton and tourbillon presentation. The diamonds are genuine stones set around the case perimeter. These variants are appropriate for evening formal wear, significant occasions, and gifting contexts where the jewellery-level aesthetic adds to the piece’s meaning. Classic variants (Black Classic and Blue Classic) have no stone setting and are suited to daily wear and more casual formal contexts.
How often do I need to wind it?
Daily – or every other day given the 80-hour reserve. A full wind in the morning (20-30 crown turns) is the standard approach for hand-wound watches. If you wind it consistently each morning before putting it on, the power reserve ensures the watch runs through the night and into the next morning, making next-morning winding before wear the natural habit.
Is the skeleton dial legible?
Yes – the hours and minutes hands are present and clearly visible against the movement architecture. The time is read from the hands in the same way as a conventional watch; the skeleton architecture is the background rather than a replacement for legibility. The tourbillon rotates at 6 o’clock and is visible as a separate element from the time display. Learning to read a skeleton watch takes approximately one day of wear; the hands remain primary and legible throughout.
What is the Novodiac shock absorption system?
Novodiac is AGELOCER’s proprietary shock absorption system for the balance wheel pivot – a spring and ball element that cushions the balance staff against impact forces. Without shock protection, a sharp impact (dropped watch, hard knock) can bend or break the delicate balance staff. Novodiac dissipates impact energy through the spring element before it reaches the staff. It is the equivalent function to Incabloc or KIF in Swiss movements – a standard feature in quality mechanical watchmaking.
Can a flying tourbillon watch be worn daily?
Yes – the AGELOCER Skeleton is designed for daily wear. At 40mm and 9.7mm it is proportioned for everyday use; at 63.5g it is light enough to wear comfortably across full days; the 5 Bar water resistance covers daily moisture exposure. The tourbillon is a delicate complication but is protected by the sapphire crystal and the Novodiac shock system. Normal daily wear including desk work, walking, and business meetings will not damage the movement. Avoid sharp impacts (throwing the watch, hard drops onto hard surfaces) as with any mechanical watch.
