Titoni is taking a sharper, more technical turn with the Luxe Tourbillon, a watch that moves the brand into a sportier tier of mechanical watchmaking.
The appeal is straightforward. This is a full-ceramic, angular sports watch with a visible tourbillon, a long power reserve and pricing that keeps it well below much of the traditional tourbillon field.
At a glance
- Titoni has introduced the Luxe Tourbillon, a sporty black ceramic tourbillon watch with three dial colour options.
- The watch uses the hand-wound Calibre T1000, developed by Olivier Mory, with more than 100 hours of power reserve.
- It is priced at CHF 11,900 excluding VAT, positioning it as a notably competitive Swiss tourbillon.
A sharper ceramic case for Titoni
The Luxe Tourbillon arrives in a 41mm case made from black high-tech ceramic, with a 50mm lug-to-lug measurement that gives it presence without pushing into oversized territory.
Its polygonal bezel and angular surfaces place it firmly in the modern sports-watch conversation, though the execution keeps enough restraint to avoid feeling theatrical.
Vertically brushed ceramic surfaces are broken up by polished facets, which gives the case a crisp, architectural rhythm.
A flat sapphire crystal sits over the dial, while the sapphire exhibition back is secured by eight screws and opens up the view of the movement.
Water resistance is rated to 50 metres, which suits the watch’s sporty character while keeping the focus on the complication.
Colour, texture and a prominent tourbillon aperture
Titoni offers the Luxe Tourbillon with black, deep blue or burgundy red dials, each finished with a vertically brushed quadro pattern.
The applied hour markers and hands are plated in 4N rose gold, adding warmth against the darker case and textured dial surface.
The tourbillon sits at 6 o’clock inside a large opening that dominates the lower half of the dial.
A diamond-cut chamfer frames the aperture, while the 4N rose-gold-plated tourbillon bridge visually links the dial-side mechanics with the hands and markers.
It’s a bolder look than Titoni is often associated with, but the details are controlled rather than loud.
Calibre T1000 and the value question
Inside is the hand-wound Calibre T1000, a tourbillon movement developed by Olivier Mory and tailored for Titoni with specific bridges and finishing.
The movement runs at 21,600 vibrations per hour and delivers more than 100 hours of power reserve, a practical advantage for a manually wound complication.
Titoni regulates each movement in six positions and targets average accuracy of 0 to +8 seconds per day.
The finishing follows the watch’s contemporary mood, using an anthracite Anthradec coating, vertical brushing, polished edges and gold-coloured contrasting elements.
Rather than dressing the tourbillon in old-world formality, Titoni has framed it as a modern sports complication.

The Luxe Tourbillon won’t be for buyers looking for a discreet dress watch, and that’s precisely the point.
It gives Titoni a more assertive flagship with genuine mechanical theatre, contemporary materials and a price that should make enthusiasts look twice.
