Franc Vila Intrepido (with nanotechnology materials)
The new Franc Vila Intrepido collection introduces the evolution
of his signature case design with nanotechnology materials.
New nanotechnology materials
Franc Vila researched nanotechnology in developing
the FV No Cuatro Chronograph Tourbillon SuperLigero Concept
and worked more than two years to develop two new materials
based on the ones used in the aerospace industry, concept car manufacturing and Formula 1.
The first nanotechnology material is NanoTube Titanium (NTT),
a very special titanium internally structured in nanotubes that is 35% less dense
that regular titanium. The second nanotechnology material is
Deep NanoTube Titanium Carbon-Graphene Composite,
a high-tech performance carbon-graphene composite with a density
almost four times less than steel, more than two times less than regular titanium,
and about 70% less dense that NanoTube Titanium.
The main characteristics of this material are outstanding elastic module,
ultimate thermal stability with amagnetic properties, and overall impressive resistance
while being extremely light. Built with new nanotechnology materials,
the Intrepido watchcase provides even more resistance while being lighter and slimmer.

FVi No 7 Tourbillon Intrepido, Deep NanoTube
FVi No 7 Tourbillon Intrepido
The FVi No 7 Tourbillon Intrepido inherits the brand's philosophy of contemporary design,
extremely light weight and ultra-resistance thanks to the use of state of the art
high-end performance materials in the movement. In the Tourbillon Intrepido,
Franc Vila also pushes boundaries by bringing the same new materials to the watchcase.
In the FVi No 7 Tourbillon Intrepido, both base plate and bridges of the movement
and the watchcase are built from Deep NanoTube Titanium Carbon-Graphene Composite,
which provides internal diffused focal points for energy-absorption, preventing damage
in case of shock. In addition, all case screws (front, carrure and back)
are made of NanoTube Titanium.
These screw, which travel through the case from the back to the bezel,
act as energy absorption columns in case of shock.

FVi9 Chrono Intrepido - Chronograph with complete calendar
The new FVi9 Chrono Intrepido inherits the technical solutions introduced
in the FVi No 7 Tourbillon Intrepido. This highly complicated movement is able to measure
accurate time intervals, and provides the simultaneous indication of the date,
the day of the week, the month and the moon phases.

Background
Prior to founding his Geneva-based company,
Franc Vila worked as a biochemist and his science background is reflected
in his movement complications and materials used for his wristwatches.

Franc Vila Tourbillon Chronograph SuperLigero Limited Edition of 8 Pieces
A year after the appearance of the FVa N° 6 SuperLigero Concept,
Franc Vila now introduces a flying chronograph tourbillon based on nanotechnology.
The new movement, like last year’s, is made of Lightnium,
but the design of the bridges has been inspired by the molecular structure of Graphene,
a recently discovered material.
While its density is very low, with a thickness equivalent to an atom,
it is 10 to 100 times more resistant than steel and much harder than diamond.
Movement is the hand-wound FV N°4 caliber, hand-decorated, with 33 jewels,
beating at 28,800 bph with a pierced flying tourbillon with differential gear
and inertia control mechanism.
The mono-pusher chronograph is a column wheel design
which is directly coupled to the tourbillon. It has a 5-day power reserve.
