The MT1.1 is the first watch officially released under the house of haute horlogerie Marco Tedeschi, a creator-led manufacture mastering in-house the entire value chain from concept to movement to finished watch.

Twenty years after creating his first central tourbillon in 2006, Marco Tedeschi brings his vision full circle. What began as a single movement has evolved into a complete horological language, now embodied in a House of Haute Horlogerie — a fully integrated ecosystem uniting Marco Tedeschi, Kross Manufacture and Kross Studio by Marco Tedeschi.

From the very first movement, the Central Tourbillon (MTO), Marco Tedeschi has set a very clear roadmap of developing a coherent constellation of 12 additional complications, each reengineered through his singular construction philosophy: form follows the movement.

The MT1.1 is the first watch to extend Marco’s vision. Powered by the MT 7010 IRM movement, it features a seven-day flying tourbillon with a power-reserve display at 12 o’clock.

At the heart of the MT1.1 beats the MT 7010 IRM caliber, an open worked movement. It delivers an impressive 7-day power reserve thanks to a single oversize barrel and features a flying tourbillon positioned at 6 o’clock. The 44mm case is round. Lugless. No 3 o’clock crown. Winding from the back. A proprietary interchangeable strap system. A singular construction philosophy.

SEVEN-DAY POWER RESERVE
The construction of the MT1.1 is such that, once the tourbillon cage is positioned, the over-sized barrel occupies the maximum available space on the main plate, extending beyond its radius. One barrel. A singular construction. Seven-day power reserve achieved.

A POWER RESERVE INDICATOR
Positioned at 12 o’clock, the power reserve indicator naturally asserts itself as both a functional and aesthetic focal point of the dial. It offers precise insight into the remaining autonomy of the movement.

A FLYING TOURBILLON AT 6 O’CLOCK
This movement features a flying tourbillon positioned at 6 o’clock, oscillating at a frequency of 3 Hz. It is the frequency that guarantees stability, precision and long-term chronometry without over-stressing the system. Controlled energy. Controlled amplitude.

A LUGLESS WATCH WITHOUT CROWN AT 3 O’CLOCK
Form follows the movement. Style is refined to the purest essentials in a minimalist language designed to serve what matters. A round case, no angles, pure ergonomics and domed sapphire offering the widest possible view of the caliber. Thoughtful in construction. Instantly recognizable. A watch built from the inside out.

A BACK WINDING SYSTEM AND A SELECTOR
Everything moves to the back for symmetry, efficiency and speed. Winding is done from the crown placed at the rear, faster and more direct than a traditional side crown. A pusher on the case side at 3 o’clock replaces the classic pull-out crown system. One press engages time-setting mode. The movement is disconnected and the hands can be adjusted. Another press returns the watch to winding mode and re-engages the movement. It’s the same logic as pulling and pushing a crown, but simplified into a single, controlled action.

OPENWORKED FRONT AND CLOSED BACK
The front is fully open. The movement explains itself instantly. The mechanics revealed with intent. An open worked movement designed that way from the start. Legible, functional, aesthetical. Light, geometry and finishing reveal functions. Every component is hand-finished.

The back is the opposite. An architecture closed by design, defined by intent. A single transversal bridge gives space to a pure canvas for Marco Tedeschi’s signature decoration: concentric geometries, circular patterns, flowing in repetition. A Zen aesthetic, engineered with precision.

INNOVATIVE DECORATIONS AND MATERIALS
The MT1.1 is available in three different case materials: Grade 5 Titanium ELI, 5N Gold and Tantalum. It features an elegant circular satin finish, subtly contrasted by polished chamfers that highlight its refined character. The main plate and bridges are made of lead-free nickel silver. Their surfaces combine satin-brushed and perlage finishes, while the edges are meticulously brushed and the bevels are polished by hand. A dark ruthenium treatment enhances the ensemble, creating a striking visual contrast. The steel components display a satin finish with polished angles, while each wheel is open worked and circled, reinforcing the visual harmony and depth of the movement.

Finally, the minimalist dial features a satin-finished flange with white decals. Optimal legibility. Purity of the design.

A PROPRIETARY INTERCHANGEABLE STRAP SYSTEM WITH CASE BACK PUSHERS
The strap is integrated into the case architecture and released via pushers on the case back. It keeps the design clean, uninterrupted and fully integrated into the case pure roundness geometry. Function is hidden. Aesthetic is preserved. No visible complexity on the dial side. No unnecessary hardware. One press. One release.

FORM FOLLOWS THE MOVEMENT
Marco Tedeschi’s construction philosophy is guided by a simple principle: Refining everything to the purest essentials in a minimalist language designed to serve what matters. Performance is never pursued at the expense of precision; the two must exist in perfect balance, serving only what is useful and meaningful to the movement itself. No extravagance, no record-seeking. Only the right solution, exactly where it is needed. Marco also reduces complexity wherever possible. Fewer components mean fewer points of failure. Efficiency by design. Aesthetic is never imposed but emerge from it naturally: form follows the movement.

PRICES AND AVAILABILITY
The MT1.1: Le tourbillon 7 Jours is available in very limited quantities through MARCO TEDESCHI’s official website and its network of exclusive retailers. The watch is available in four different case materials. The Titanium is priced at 69’900 CHF; the Titanium Black is priced at 74’900 CHF the Tantalum is priced at 79’900 CHF; and the 5N Gold is priced at 89’900 CHF (excluding taxes).


Marco Tedeschi is an independent House of Haute Horlogerie and creator-led Manufacture built from the inside out. Its origin dates to 2006, when Marco Tedeschi, still an engineering student, conceived and patented a central tourbillon. Not a one-off complication, but the blueprint for a long-term mechanical architecture.

Since 2020, this vision has evolved into a fully integrated horological ecosystem combining Marco Tedeschi, Kross Manufacture and Kross Studio by Marco Tedeschi. Together they secure independence, technical mastery and creative expansion. The brand develops a coherent family of 12 proprietary calibers built around a single origin: the central tourbillon. Two calibers have already been released, the central tourbillon and the seven-day tourbillon, with 11 more following a roadmap defined from the first movement.

Every watch follows one principle: “form follows the movement”. Style is refined to the purest essentials in a minimalist language designed to serve what matters. Round case, no angles, pure ergonomics and a domed sapphire offering the widest possible view of the caliber. Thoughtful in construction. Instantly recognizable. A watch. A brand. Built from the inside out.

Marco Tedeschi is a Swiss watch creator and engineer born in Geneva in 1985. His fascination with mechanical watches began by winding watches as a child in his father’s boutique, experiencing the living nature of a mechanical movement.

Trained in Watchmaking and Microtechnical Design at the École Technique de la Vallée de Joux, then at the Geneva School of Engineering, he created in 2006 his first central tourbillon with a long-power-reserve architecture. A defining decision that shaped every creation that followed and laid the blueprint of his vision.

“Form follows the movement” is Marco Tedeschi’s design philosophy. Style is refined to the purest essentials in a minimalist language designed to serve what matters. A round case, no angles, pure ergonomics and a domed sapphire opening the widest possible view of the caliber.

Over the next decade, working with innovative and bold watchmaking brands, he refined his craft at the intersection of engineering, design and strategy, while completing Master in Management and Business Administration at HEC Geneva.

In 2020, he began executing the vision he had imagined years earlier: building a fully integrated horological ecosystem. He founded Kross Manufacture, the industrial backbone and Kross Studio by Marco Tedeschi, the collaborative platform that expands creative territory. Together, these structures gave rise to his signature brand: Marco Tedeschi. A brand, a horological ecosystem operating as a House of Haute Horlogerie.
