Detail
CURVERD is a separate brand from KEN TRADING, well-known for RXW. While RXW pursued Neo Vintage beyond vintage watches, CURVERD sought to explore features not attempted by RXW, such as jumping hours, flying tourbillons, and design watches for women. A distinctive characteristic is that all CURVERD watches have a tonneau-shaped design.
ASTROLABE is a flying tourbillon released by Ken Trading. Unlike a regular tourbillon, a flying tourbillon eliminates the bridge on the dial side, supporting the axis only on the back cover. This design makes the carriage appear to float, earning it the name "flying tourbillon." It allows for a more enjoyable experience of the dynamic movement of the tourbillon, seemingly suspended in the air.
Within the category of flying tourbillons, ASTOLABE features a skeletonized back, with the 6 o'clock position being transparent, allowing for a view of the balance wheel's oscillation and movement. The lapis blue dial and blue leather strap complement each other beautifully.
There has been a reassessment of RXW, and a reevaluation of CURVERD has also begun. Over the past two years, CURVERD watches have experienced a significant increase in value. ASTOLABE , being a limited quantity and non-reproducible timepiece, is recommended for early purchase.
The watch is in the following condition: the crystal has scratches and appears cloudy. The strap is original but shows signs of wear from use. The watch itself is currently functioning properly.
