At Dubai Watch Week 2023, a remarkable new talent in watchmaking, Remy Cools, showcased his latest novelties, captivating the horological world. During our talk, we discovered his passion for watchmaking, which started at the tender age of 11. Remy frequently visited Swiss manufacturers in the Vallée de Joux, immersing himself in the intricate world of timepieces. His dedication led him to pursue a six-year study of watchmaking in France, culminating in a prestigious accolade in 2018 when he won the F.P. Journe Young Talent Competition.

After completing his studies, Remy honed his skills at the Greubel Forsey workshop, but it wasn't long before his entrepreneurial spirit and watchmaking prowess propelled him to establish his own workshop. By the age of 21, he had set up his workshop in Lake Annecy, France, and launched his first  model in 2020, the 'Souscription' a series of 9 exclusive watches, marking his entry into the world of independent watchmaking.

Now, the indie watchmaker Remy Cools unveils the 'Tourbillon Atelier', featuring a brass dial available in yellow or rose gold hues. Compared to its first collection, the Tourbillon Atelier boasts a smaller case dimension, measuring 39 by 12 mm, and is enhanced with new dials, new hands, and movement, retaining the design DNA of the Tourbillon Souscription. These elements are a testament to his evolving craftsmanship and creative vision in the world of luxury horology.

Crafted from 950 platinum, the case exudes a sense of premium quality and durability. It's further enhanced with a box sapphire crystal that includes an anti-reflective coating, ensuring optimal visibility under various lighting conditions. Additionally, this timepiece boasts a water-resistance of up to 30 meters.

However the main attraction is the brass disk that is available in either yellow or pink gold color. This choice allows for a personalized touch, catering to the preferences of the collectors. The dial features an elegantly off-centered two-part dial that displays the hours and minute with hand-polished steel hands, complemented by the prominent 13mm one-minute tourbillon positioned gracefully at 6 o’clock.
