Singapore watch maker Zelos Watches has released their first halo watch model, named The Mirage. The Mirage represents the pinnacle of the company?s capabilities and is a limited edition run of 10 pieces. It exudes rarity and class, paying respects to the origins of Zelos, incorporating the spirit of engineering with exotic materials. The Mirage is an accessible Swiss tourbillon, boasting many features far above its price tier.

Manufacture La Joux-Perret skeletonised tourbillon movement

The Mirage features a customized Manufacture La Joux-Perret skeletonized tourbillon movement featuring a flying tourbillon. A flying tourbillon is unlike a dual-supported tourbillon. Instead, it is cantilevered and supported only by one side. This feat of engineering requires higher quality standards due to the increased stresses on the support structure, but also provides more unobstructed views to showcase the tourbillon. Another engineering accomplishment is the re-designed gear train. Typically situated directly below the tourbillon cage, it has instead been designed to fit alongside. This helps reduce the overall thickness of the movement to barely 9-mm, creating a sleeker profile. The movement is fully decorated, complete with black PVD main plates and a curved-grain pattern. Every edge and join has been finely beveled for a remarkable finishing, especially up close. The movement boasts an impressive power reserve of 60-hours.
