A good, reputed double tourbillion watch costs as much as a Lamborghini. It’s a stunning technology, no doubt, and requires painstaking hand-assembly, but I’d be mad to talk about a timepiece that clocks in at north of half of a million dollars. However, the ZEROO DT1 is a bit of an outlier in that regard. Yes, it sports a stunning, hand-assembled double-tourbillion complication sitting within a three-layer octagonal-shaped case, capped with a sapphire crystal cover… but it does so without costing a fortune. In fact, the ZEROO DT1 is literally more than 99% cheaper than your high-end two-tourbillion watch, costing just over $3,000.
While the price pays a major role in what makes the ZEROO DT1 so fascinating, it’s the two-tourbillion complication that absolutely steals the show. Visible at the 5 and 7 o’clock positions on the watch face, the tourbillions rotate once per minute, achieving greater precision through their synchronization, while hat-tipping to a category of watches that were previously only reserved for billionaires. Given its average price, double-tourbillion watches are considered a luxury lifestyle accessory, but the designers at Japan-based ZEROOTIME are committed to bringing the technology to regular consumers through the crowdfunding business model. This results in ZEROOTIME being able to avoid all overheads and middlemen, allowing the $3,000 DT1 to be ‘honestly priced’.
Each tourbillion is painstakingly hand-assembled before being individually and manually inspected for any defects. The complication is then encased within an octagonal case crafted from 316L steel, before being capped with a sapphire crystal on the front, and a metal plate on the back, finished with the Côtes de Genève microtexture. The watch face features highly legible numbers, coated in LumiNova for readability in low-light conditions too, and a crown at the 3 o’clock position lets you set the time as well as hand-wind the watch – a process that lets you intimately experience and control the watch’s double beating heart. Each DT1 also comes with a hand-stitched black polished leather strap to match the finesse of the watch’s magnificent movement, and a 2-year warranty on the timepiece.

ZEROO DT1 – World’s First Affordable Double Tourbillion Watch
Ranging from hundreds of thousands of dollars into the millions, double tourbillon watches have been far beyond the reach of the average consumer – until now. The DT1 by ZEROOTIME from Japan is releasing a price-slashing double tourbillon watch.
The Double Tourbillion
The world’s three grand mechanical watch complications are the tourbillon, the minute repeater, and the perpetual calendar, and wristwatches containing any one of these are sold by luxury watch brands for hundreds of thousands of dollars. The double tourbillon, however, stands above these as a super-complication and produced in extremely limited quantities each year by only the most skilled watchmakers, and thus are available only to billionaires.
The ZEROO DT1’s two tourbillons rotate once per minute, achieving greater precision through their synchronization.
Original Three-layer Case
Perfect for housing the double tourbillon movement, the three layers are composed of intricately cut parts for multifaceted light reflection off skillfully combined mirror surfaces and satin finishing.
Prioritizing a modern look when worn on the wrist, the ZEROO DT1 is not round but an oblong octagon. The caseback, secured with see-through sapphire crystal screws, features a Côtes de Genève finish. And whether worn with a leather, metal, or silicon strap, the convex lugs maintain a uniform curve from case to strap.
Highly Readable Dial Design
The 12, 3, and 9 are original font molds and the crown is intricate, an original trapezoidal design for the DT1 that is as beautiful as it is easy to operate.
Hand-wound Movement for Maximum Enjoyment
The ZEROO DT1 has a hand-wound movement, because we want you to feel the heart of the watch as you wind its spring, as if fueling a vehicle.
HLuminous LumiNova®
The hands are solid like a luxury brand sports watch, but to let the wearer to both enjoy the movement and easily tell the time, the team spent days studying hand thickness and luminous surface area, adjusting by tenths of a millimeter until we arrived at the optimal ratio.
Sapphire crystal, the highest-grade watch glass for protection: The protective watch glass is made of sapphire crystal for peak hardness and transparency, allowing you to enjoy every last detail of the intricate carriage movement without any fogging.
42-hour mainspring power reserve: The ZEROO DT1 has a hand-wound movement – you wind the spring by turning the crown clockwise in its normal position. However, the inclusion of a tough mainspring can power the watch for a reserve of up to 42 hours.
A hand-stitched leather strap: The ZEROO DT1 strap is black leather, polished to perfectly complement the watch body’s magnificent double tourbillon.
