Geneva-based Blackout Concept is reshaping the luxury watchmaking landscape by blending innovation with tradition. Their mission is clear: “To revive the joy of watchmaking by offering pieces that deliver exceptional value in terms of image, design, and aesthetics, all while remaining affordable.” This philosophy allows collectors to indulge in high-end timepieces without the fear of theft—a growing concern in bustling cities and tourist destinations, as highlighted by founders Tymothy Plubeau and Etienne Rousseaux.
Reliability Meets Affordability
The XP1 Tourbillon, crafted from grade 5 titanium, is the latest triumph of Blackout Concept.
Boasting a 44mm case diameter, a 72-hour power reserve for its flying tourbillon, and a striking tonneau shape, this model blends sportiness, elegance, and durability. Its sleek, aesthetic immediately captivates, while its lightweight build (weighing just 113g) ensures supreme comfort. This is thanks to the use of titanium, a revolutionary material in luxury watchmaking.
The XP1 is a true hybrid, combining the expertise of Swiss craftsmanship with the cost-effective precision of Asian-manufactured parts. Each Asian component undergoes rigorous testing and transformation before being assembled and thus reaching the market, ensuring uncompromised quality. As a result, Blackout Concept can offer a high-end, luxury timepiece for under €3,000—a rare find in the world of tourbillons.
Assembled and tested by their watchmakers in the heart of Geneva, each XP1 Tourbillon is a testament to the brand’s commitment to both quality and value. With its exceptional price-performance ratio, Blackout Concept is carving out a distinct niche in the watchmaking world.
