CVSTOS Challenge Tourbillon Yachting Club Tonneau-shaped watch

CVSTOS Challenge Tourbillon Yachting Club Tonneau-shaped watch (detail)

Although still in its infancy, Cvstos keeps introducing elegant and classic-looking timepieces in its favorite Tonneau form-factor.


The recently unveiled Cvstos Challenge Tourbillon Yachting Club limited edition watch may well become Swiss brand’s opus magnum. At least, for the time being.

The only problem with this Yachting Club model is that its blue rubber strap and the 3 x 20 seconds indicator of the same color somehow do not live happily in the watch’s satin-finished platinum case. I, actually, get the idea behind the choice of colors, but it still makes the watch look like a rather sophisticated toy clock.
