BLACKOUT was founded in 2006 as a brand that specializes in customizing luxury watches and has gained the support of many watch enthusiasts. WATCHES” Two watch enthusiasts, Etienne and Tim, who became the new owners of the brand in 2022, are passionate about watchmaking. They had a simple yet revolutionary dream: “A real luxury watch that anyone can get their hands on.” It was born from a simple idea to make the code of luxury watchmaking more accessible. And that dream, that idea, took shape in the “XP1 Tourbillon.” The tourbillon is one of the three most complicated mechanisms in wristwatches. The tourbillon, one of the three major complications in wristwatches, is a symbol of luxury watches. The name means “whirlwind” in French, and it is an advanced mechanism developed by Abraham-Louis Breguet to equalize the effects of gravity and improve accuracy, but its beautiful finish and complex mechanism make it difficult to reach. On the other hand, there are now affordable Asian-made tourbillons. “BLACKOUT WATCHES” has taken a unique approach to creating high-quality, affordable tourbillon watches. XP1 Tourbillon – A luxury tourbillon within reach of everyone To bridge the gap between the two options of unaffordable Swiss tourbillons and affordable Asian tourbillons, BLACKOUT WATCHES takes a unique approach. We import high-quality Asian tourbillons and have them reconstructed by skilled craftsmen in our own workshop in Geneva, Switzerland. The components are thoroughly inspected in our own factory in Switzerland, machined if necessary, and then assembled on-site. This process allows us to achieve a quality comparable to the finest Swiss tourbillons, but at an affordable price. This is the XP1 Tourbillon.

The lightweight and strong carbon case model has a unique design that glows in the dark by incorporating Luminova powder during the forging process. The crystal is used for the windshield, and the skeleton dial allows you to take a good look at the movement of the watch and the tourbillon. The case back is also made of sapphire crystal, allowing you to take a good look at the mechanism of the watch.

We attached screws to the side of the case to aim for a luxurious, sporty and edgy design. The FKM rubber (fluoro rubber) strap, which is heat-resistant, cold-resistant, and stain-resistant, has a folding buckle, making it stress-free to wear and highly comfortable. The quick-change system makes it easy to replace the strap. Watch Making― Reliable quality supported by skilled techniques The production of this special watch is supported by master watchmaker David. David’s appointment as master watchmaker paves the way for BLACKOUT WATCHES to produce original watches.

An example of tuning up ・Precise inspection using a microscope – Identifying and reinforcing weak points through targeted stress testing – Replacing and upgrading screws – Replacing and reinforcing specific parts as needed These steps ensure excellent customer satisfaction and are a testament to the reliability of the XP1 Tourbillon.

After years of success in customizing luxury watches, BLACKOUT WATCHES is moving in a new direction with the creation of its own unique models. In 2022, the current owners of the brand, Etienne and Tim, two watch enthusiasts with a passion for watchmaking, took over the brand. In the first year, their priority was not to launch flashy new models, but to build a strong and lasting foundation. They improved customer service, improved the quality of the entire product, and strengthened the overall after-sales service, building a sincere and trustworthy brand before expanding the business. What they envisioned was a simple yet revolutionary dream: “A real luxury watch that anyone can get their hands on.” And later, they began developing the “XP1 Tourbillon.” The goal of the XP1 Tourbillon is to break down long-standing barriers in watchmaking.
