In the world of haute horology, where tradition meets innovation, BEHRENS has once again pushed the boundaries of craftsmanship with their latest creation, The Dark Knight Tourbillon. This limited-edition timepiece marks a tribute not only to the legacy of fine watchmaking but also to an iconic cultural figure—Batman. Celebrating the 85th anniversary of the legendary superhero, BEHRENS has teamed up with Warner Brothers to bring this exclusive timepiece to life. With only 200 pieces available, The Dark Knight is a must-have for collectors and Batman enthusiasts alike.
The Tourbillon Functionality: Mastering Time
At the heart of this extraordinary watch is the intricate tourbillon mechanism, one of the most revered complications in the history of watchmaking. It is more than just a functional feature; it’s a nod to the art of precision and craftsmanship that defines BEHRENS. The in-house developed Cal.BM05 manual wind movement powers the skeletonized tourbillon, featuring a striking luminous Batman logo. Rotating every 60 seconds, the tourbillon’s continuous motion symbolizes the perpetual vigilance of Gotham’s protector.
Beyond the tourbillon, the watch integrates several advanced complications. Positioned at 1:30 is a power reserve indicator, ensuring the watch’s readiness at a glance. At 9:30, a black-and-white globe-shaped Day/Night indicator adds a dynamic element, reflecting the duality of Batman’s persona. Meanwhile, a discreet date window sits elegantly at 6:00, rounding off the watch’s essential functions.
The Case: A Dark Tribute
Encased in a 38mm round, black-coated case, The Dark Knight evokes the shadowy allure of Gotham City’s caped crusader.
The skeletonized design is encased in sapphire crystal, both front and back, offering a clear view of the intricate mechanics at play. The hollowed-out lugs add sophistication and depth, subtly enhancing the watch’s sleek profile without compromising its bold statement.
The Strap: Tailored for Gotham’s Hero
Each Batman Tourbillon comes with two interchangeable rubber straps, available in contrasting tones of orange and black, both stamped with the iconic Batman emblem.
The quick-change mechanism allows for effortless transitions, giving wearers the flexibility to switch between styles without the need for tools.
A Collector’s Masterpiece
With only 200 pieces in existence, The Dark Knight is not only a watch but a collector’s treasure. It retails at SGD 9,410.
