Project-T was conceived from a shared interest of fine watchmaking between Japanese independent watchmaker Hajime Asaoka, Japan’s leading tool maker OSG, and Yuki Precision, a provider of aerospace grade precision machines. With each contributing their own expertise, the timepieces born from Project-T combine both the tradition of fine watchmaking by hand and the precision and tools used in aerospace engineering.

Masterfully crafted, the Project-T Tourbillon exuberates a restrained sophistication for a tourbillon watch. The dial draws inspiration from art deco design as evident from the architectural styling of the hands and the minute circle. Contrasted beautifully against a glossy black DLC (Diamond-Like-Coating) dial and an exquisitely polished stainless steel case with prominent lugs, the tourbillon carriage frames are made entirely in titanium with ball bearing in the middle and right side of the bridge, further accentuating the distinctive aesthetic of the timepiece.

Turning the watch over, one finds an extraordinary movement with admirable details like the wolf-teeth gears which are considerably more superior and difficult to machine than regular gear teeth. Another notable feature of the watch is the use of ball bearings compared to the usual ruby palettes. The talents of Yuki Precision allowed the Project-T Tourbillon to integrate some of the smallest ball bearings in the world.
