Each piston in the Vulcan Innova VI52 is re-imagined as a watch holder with timepieces secured onto custom cushions, which then slot into each of the pistons. For added security, the pistons submerge within the cylinders during winding. When the security key unlocks the VI52, the watches smoothly rise from out of the block. Each of the six watches can conveniently be removed from their respective pistons by depressing two buttons. Vulcan Innova specially designed the winder so that timepieces cannot be removed when the pistons are encased in the engine block without the key.

Each piston is individually driven by robotics grade stepper motors, resulting in quiet and fully controllable movement. The pistons can be custom calibrated to wind any specific timepiece, up to six distinct winding modes, one for each piston are easily selected using a button located by each piston. Two generic pre set synchronized winding modes that wind all pistons at the same time are also available.

With a limited production of only 52 units, the first prototypes are available as a Touch of Modern exclusive. Vulcan Innova will provide custom sized cushions, depending on your wrist circumference. The basic cushions are 7", which might not be suitable for all watches. Touch of Modern will reach out to confirm your wrist size after purchase, and custom sized cushions can be produced.
