Swiss independent watchmaker Cyrus introduced the Etheral Twin Orbital Tourbillon during the 2024 Watches & Wonders Geneva exhibition. This remarkable timepiece combines twin tourbillons with a digital jump hour display, while the entire dial itself rotates over time—creating a mesmerizing visual effect.
This model marks Cyrus’s first-ever round watch, featuring a 44mm case crafted in rose gold, with the middle case in Grade 5 titanium. The watch is equipped with two crowns: the one at 3 o’clock is used for time setting and manual winding, while the 9 o’clock crown allows rapid correction of the digital hour display in one-hour increments.
The most striking element on the dial is undoubtedly the triangular, three-dimensional minute hand. The two lower corners are fixed to the dial by screws, while the dial itself rotates clockwise once per hour. The upper tip of the triangle points to the corresponding minute markers as it turns. At the center of the minute triangle lies an openworked jump-hour disc, which rotates counterclockwise to ensure that the time display always remains horizontally aligned for optimal legibility.
On the opposite side of the triangular hand are two flying tourbillons, set at a 20° inclination relative to the dial. Their three-armed spiral cages echo the Cyrus brand logo, with the curvature of the arms visually synchronized to the direction of each tourbillon’s rotation.
Powering the watch is the in-house manual-winding caliber CYR518-E, composed of 510 components and beating at 21,600 vph. Twin barrels provide a 72-hour power reserve. Through the sapphire crystal caseback, one can admire the refined hand-finishing and the three-armed spiral motif reappearing on the barrel wheels. The power-reserve indicator at 6 o’clock mirrors the design of the minute hand.
