The Quenttin is quite a dramatic timepiece. It is designed in 2 cylinders and is limited to only 99 pieces in white gold, 18 pieces in rose gold and 18 pieces in platinium.
The movement consists of a vertical mechanical movement with manual winding escapement, incorporating swiss anchor mounted in a tourbillion cage. The watch winds with an integrated key, external hand key or with a motorized system in the box.
Due to the energy supplied by the 7 gold barrels that is displayed through vertical rolls, it has an astonishing long power reserve of 31 days, which is one month.
What effect will the Quenttin on in the watch world? Being first to released on market ( as it is already being sold ) before the cabestan, the Quenttin will probably sell out before the cabestan is even ready for the market. Both Jacob & Co and Vianney Halter cover a very small niche market of esoteric collectors before these pieces are wonderful piece of engineering - despite of their huge price tag.
