Story

ZEROO T7 SKELETON TOURBILLON THE ARCHER

ZEROO is pleased to present a new model of Japanese Tourbillon watch from its own atelier in Tokyo. The ZEROO T7 is equipped with a flying tourbillon mounted on a newly designed carriage and housed in a solidly designed case, creating a wristwatch that is both powerful and graceful.

ZEROO TOURBILLON – Made in Japan

The tourbillon movement, which is the heart of the watch, dazzles all who see it.

Mechanical wristwatch movements have complex structures, and three in particular, the tourbillon, perpetual calendar, and minute repeater, are known as the world’s three most complicated mechanisms and have captivated wristwatch fans around the world. The tourbillon is the most famous of them all. The ZEROO T7 is the latest in a long line of wristwatches designed and developed with the tourbillon in mind.

Movement – Flying Tourbillon with 60hrs PR

Cal.ZT03 Tourbillon 28,800bph 20 Jewels / Manual-Winding

The T7 is equipped with the newest version of the ZEROO Tourbillon movement. The newly designed carriage and twin-barrel provide a power reserve of 60 hours.

At the core of our product development is the ability to enjoy the beautiful, exquisite, and dynamic movements of the tourbillon to the fullest extent. For this reason, ZEROO tourbillon watches are consistently equipped with a flying tourbillon.

Case – Octagonal & Arched surface

The case housing the movement was developed specifically for the T7, which is a further development of the octagonal case that ZEROO has used in the T8 and M3 models, and was designed to combine the solidity of a mechanical watch with the elegance of a tourbillon.

The case is made of 316L stainless steel, a material used by many luxury watch brands.

The T7 case features an arched surface glass. It was designed with the intention of creating a three-dimensional effect when worn on the wrist and of making the housed movement look beautiful when it catches the light.

Color variations – Choose according to lifestyle

The silver case, suitable for daily use and sports, is available in black and silver dial colors. The  gold case is suitable for vacations and social occasions. The black case is suitable for matching for formal suits and chic attire.

As for the gold and black cases, they are PVD coated; ZEROO watches are coated in such a way that the color will not fade with daily use.

Indiegogo Limited model: No-logo version

In response to requests from some ZEROO fans, we are offering the T7 without the ZEROO TIME Co. logo on the crystal glass as an Indiegogo limited model. Limited to 50 pieces and 25% off the retail price.

Bracelet: Superb shine with light reflection

The stainless steel bracelet developed exclusively for T7 is comfortable to the touch and durable. We have paid particular attention to the polishing of the stainless steel so that the bracelet will show the most beautiful reflected light when it is exposed to sunlight or indoor light.

The D-buckle on the T7 bracelet is push-button on both sides, with a new design that engages the ZEROO logo at the center point.

More Details of the ZEROO T7

Practical Second hand

One of the three screws holding the carriage in place is colored a distinctive blue. Since the carriage makes one revolution per minute, this blue point serves as the second hand.

Sapphire Crystal Watch Glass

The dial window and back window are both made of scratch-proof sapphire crystal glass with the highest hardness (Moh-9). The smooth curves along the arch shape of the upper surface of the T7 case gently reflect light and enhance the beauty of the movement.

Crown guard

The case of the T7 has a crown guard. The crown guard protects the movement from unexpected shocks, as manual-winding movements are subject to crown operations on a daily basis. The crown guard was developed with a focus on ease of operation and beautiful design.

Index & Hands

The hands and indexes of T7 are both equipped with Luminova as a luminescent function. This ensures high legibility even at night.

Serial Number

The T7 will be produced in a limited edition of 1,000 pieces in each color. The serial number will be engraved on the back cover. Please note that the serial number cannot be selected at the time of purchase.

Development Story

The design of the ZEROO T7 began with the desire to house a tourbillon movement of the latest design in a rigid and elegant watch case. The stainless steel bracelet was also designed from scratch and entirely redesigned for the T7.

Designer SYUU sketches out the inspiration, creates CAD drawings based on the sketches, checks the size and mass of the mock-up using a 3D printer, and carefully takes each step toward commercialization in close consultation with the engineering department.

There are many steps involved in bringing the designer SYUU’s vision to reality, and the development of any watch can be quite a challenge. The ZEROO T7 is solid, yet balanced with the soft arch of the front window and the perfect fit when worn on the wrist with the bracelet assembled. The development process took an enormous amount of time for the ZEROO watch, with repeated adjustments of details down to less than one millimeter.

In the pursuit of the best possible look, we produced many samples of watch glasses and dials, and repeated trial and error.
