Sporting somewhat similar styling to the recently introduced Kalpa Hemispheres watch, the new Bugatti-branded watch will feature a power reserve indicator and an exposed tourbillon escapement. It is still not clear, what kind of movement will be hidden behind the elegant matte-black dial and what kind of material the case will be made of. However, it is [...]

While doing my research on another great affordable timepiece from this manufacturer, the M108 automatic model, I came across this beautiful Marvin M109 open heart watch.
