Albishorn Voisin Aérosport: small seconds on a floor of their own

Watch passportSelect a specification for a plain-language explanation

38 mm, a manually wound ALB04 M, COSC certification and a 60-hour reserve. The Voisin Aérosport builds its Art Deco character through physical dial depth, giving small seconds a separate 180-degree sector.

Why it is interesting

The three-dimensional dial is connected to the movement’s construction. A modest case and exposed calibre reward attentive everyday ownership.

Things to consider

Try manual winding through the ten-o’clock crown in person. A stated late-November delivery start does not confirm the timing of an individual order.

The model in detail

Meet the watch

Space is the first thing you notice in the Voisin Aérosport. The hour track sits above the centre, while small seconds at four o’clock occupy a lower level. At a glance it is a restrained watch with blue hands; closer attention reveals a small architectural construction.

Albishorn describes the model as an imagined personal commission for Gabriel Voisin in the 1930s. The brand is open about building a fictional historical situation around a contemporary watch. Remembering that helps: “1930” provides artistic context, while today’s construction, finishing and delivery terms are what need assessing.

ALB04 M is developed from a Manufacture AMT ébauche. The movement supports separate assemblies for the main dial and small seconds, allowing their heights to differ. Small seconds receive a 180-degree sector. The relationship between calibre and dial matters more here than simply adding a decorative layer.

Details and limitations

Manual winding, a typical reserve of around 60 hours and stop seconds make the operating routine understandable. The calibre runs at 4 Hz and is COSC-certified. There is no rotor blocking the view through the sapphire back, leaving the bridge stripes and wheel finishing visible.

The steel case measures 38 mm across, 9.6 mm thick including the crystals and 45.2 mm lug to lug. Its crown is at ten o’clock. Those numbers help begin a selection, but try the unusual crown position in person: daily manual winding should suit your own hands.

The Classic is limited to 99 examples. The page lists two leather straps, CHF 3,450 and deliveries beginning in late November 2026. Check taxes and shipping for the individual order. This watch will make its strongest case to someone who enjoys subtle dial details and wants to return to them daily.
