Black Hole: Time Distorted by Cosmic Gravity
Peacock presents the Avant Series Black Hole — turning the unseen structures of the universe into wearable mechanical art.
At its core sits an in‑house developed free‑sprung central tourbillon, inspired by a black hole’s singularity. Concentric hour and minute discs circle around it, mimicking cosmic matter pulled by gravitational pull.
The dial features hand‑bent curved guilloché engraving that forms a vivid “spacetime grid”. Complex geometric patterns draw inward, visualizing how space warps under immense gravity. Every rippled surface is engraved one‑by‑one, sculpting rich layers of light, shadow and dimensional depth.
From the flame‑blued titanium inner bezel to the elaborate underlying guilloché work, every detail carries Peacock’s drive to push watchmaking into uncharted territory. Forces once only known across the cosmos are now made physical, brought to life by master craftsmanship.
Weaving Spacetime by Artisan Hand
Peacock’s hand‑shaped curved guilloché brings gravity’s abstract geometry to life as genuine Métiers d’Art.
Taking cues from the distorted spacetime around Black Hole, the “Gravitational Weave” pattern uses interlocking V‑shaped channels that converge inward. They evoke the dramatic visual effect of space caving in under overwhelming gravitation.
Breaking free from standard flat guilloché, every engraving traces a three‑dimensional curved surface. The dial becomes a breathing geometric realm, with depth and reflections shifting perpetually with light — a masterful rendering of the cosmos’ hidden architecture.
1,440 Precision Cuts On A Curved Dial
The “Gravitational Weave” pattern uses 240 interlocking V‑grooves (120 clockwise / 120 counter‑clockwise). Six engraving passes per groove create 1,440 precise cuts, all set at an exact 3° angle in tribute to 3‑D space.Such exactness comes not from programming, but from the artisan’s trained hand.
Guilloché Beyond The Flat Plane
Peacock engineered custom‑adapted equipment built for curved‑surface engraving.
Throughout all 1,440 cuts, artisans manually compensate for subtle shifts in curvature, fine‑tuning blade pressure and angle. Each incision permanently removes metal — even a tiny error is irreversible. This craft calls for technical expertise, immense patience, refined muscle memory and total hand control.
The Final Craft Stage
Once curved guilloché is done, the dial is refined by careful hand‑matting.Working with custom abrasives and a specialist brush, artisans trace every curve stroke by stroke. Pressure must be finely tuned: too much blunts the sharp V‑groove geometry; too little leaves abrasive residue in crevices.The sculpted surface constantly alters brush contact points. This finishing stage yields a muted, velvety metal texture, letting light and shadow unveil the engraving’s dimensional depth.
The Tourbillon at Cosmic Heart
Beating at the soul of Black Hole is Peacock’s self‑crafted central free‑sprung tourbillon. Encapsulated within a 35.6 mm calibre, 196 components revolve around a tourbillon carriage weighing only 0.46 g. Four barrels linked in series grant a remarkable 120‑hour power reserve, with transmission efficiency surpassing 95%. Sculpted as a cosmic vortex, the central bridge echoes spacetime distortion surrounding a singularity, transmuting mechanical engineering into a visual ode to gravity. Each component is refined for both technical excellence and architectural grace. This is Peacock’s haute horlogerie ethos: let complexity shine visibly.
3.5 mm Ultra‑Thin: Precision Stripped to Essentials
Peacock’s ultra‑thin movement is only 3.5 mm thick, housing complex mechanics within minimal space. Its free‑sprung balance uses four built‑in Gyromax‑style weights for precise inertia tuning, keeping the hairspring’s effective length untouched. This protects ideal hairspring geometry and delivers stable long‑term isochron performance. Slimness is not just a spec — it is masterful control: every micron and component must work perfectly within tightly confined dimensions.
400 Hand‑Cuts Below the Tourbillon
Beneath the tourbillon, the lower bridge features a cosmic‑themed hand‑guilloché pattern split into eight vortex‑inspired segments. Each segment is engraved at an exact 3° rotation, requiring more than 400 separate tool strokes for its complex interwoven geometry. Lines are spaced at just 0.325 mm, with 108 knife‑avoidance points calling for utmost precision. Seven rubies are laid out like stars inside an accretion disc’s gravitational pull. This mechanical finishing transcends ornamentation, bringing a hand‑sculpted micro‑universe to life.
Time in Orbital Motion
Crafted from lightweight titanium alloy, the internal components of the Black Hole pose far higher manufacturing challenges than standard steel: concentrated heat build‑up, accelerated tool abrasion, and ultra‑strict dimensional tolerances are all to be mastered. Following exhaustive CNC milling, Peacock employs femtosecond “cold‑laser” technology, originally developed for semiconductor and medical industries. This technique fabricates the sophisticated hollow hour‑and‑minute discs with micron‑grade accuracy. Every piece thereafter undergoes meticulous hand finishing, with watchmakers refining each edge and surface to perfect equilibrium. The outcome is high‑precision engineering elevated by deliberate, patient human artistry.
550‑600°C: Colour Wrought by Fire
Each titanium inner ring undergoes bespoke flame‑bluing at 550‑600 degrees Celsius. Far from a homogenous surface coat, its violet‑blue lustre blooms from carefully governed oxidation — granting every ring its singular character. Upon curved three‑dimensional forms, heat is guided steadily by human hand. The slightest variance of distance, angle or temperature transforms the resulting tone. Artisans capture the ephemeral peak of oxidation, retaining only those components that fulfil Peacock’s exacting aesthetic vision. Each ring holds a colour signature impossible to replicate.
Time in Orbit
Rejecting conventional hands, Black Hole displays hours and minutes with concentric titanium discs revolving about its central tourbillon. The hour disc and triangular markers radiate cool blue with BGW9 Super‑LumiNova; the minute set glows contrasting green infused with C1 luminescent compound. By daylight, it unfolds a minimalist architectural tableau. In shadow, twin luminous shades portray time adrift inside the warp of gravity.
A Case with a Weightless Presence
Built from Grade 5 titanium and fitted with a domed sapphire crystal, the case adopts golden‑ratio proportions and sculpted side cutouts to deliver striking depth and a suspended visual effect. Its architecturally shaped form appears to float around the central movement, mirroring the weightless geometry of cosmic space.
A Strap Inspired by Motion
This integrated fluororubber strap comes in 120‑80 mm length, tapering from 23 mm down to 18 mm wide. At a slim 2.8 mm thickness, it echoes the case’s sculptural design language and ensures all‑day comfort for this avant‑garde timepiece.
Sculpted for the Wrist
Measuring only 11.9 mm in thickness, the case reconciles its intricate architecture with a highly wearable silhouette. Grade 5 titanium delivers lightweight construction, and precision‑formed contours deliver seamless transition between case and wrist.
Time in Orbit
Two titanium discs revolve around the central tourbillon. Blue BGW9 lume for hours and green C1 lume for minutes combine to form a vivid dual‑colour display.
Time‑Reading Guide
How to Read the Time
- Outer disc (Hours)：Take the numeral aligned to the upper triangular marker as the hour value.
- Inner disc (Minutes)：Read the numeral positioned at the lower triangular marker for minutes.
- Example: Upper marker aligned to 12 and lower marker aligned to 30 indicates 12:30.
For dark environments, hours glow blue with BGW9 Super‑LumiNova and minutes glow green with C1 luminous compound, ensuring legibility even with minimal ambient light.
