m30tp a timepiece
of incomparable audacity
The M30TP is a uniquely functional artwork, as audacious as it is complex, conceived as an innovative combination of engineering, design and craftsmanship.
At 1.5 meters long with 1280 custom-made components, the M30TP is an extraordinary timepiece that took more than two years to create. At the core of the M30TP is the unique engineering of its revolutionary perpetual calendar, bridging minutes, hours, days, months and years into a compelling piece of theatre.
The M30TP also invites personalization, with the tourbillon of each timepiece beating at the precise resting heart rate of its owner to create an unbreakable bond.

In order to bring to life an innovative timepiece
based on the principle of double reading,
La Vallée entrusted Luciano Sasso to design
and develop the M30TP.
Head of Research and Development in La
Vallée, fourth generation of a family of
clockmakers, inventors and designers, Luciano
is endowed with a particular insight into
mechanics, geometry and logic mathematics,
that he developed from an early age along
with a great curiosity and a passion for making, understanding and inventing.
Starting from a technical training through engineering, for the design of special machines, the construction of cars and the development of mechanical complications in La Vallée, Luciano experiments, invents and creates mechanical solutions never taken for granted and often out of the ordinary, questioning what is commonly accepted as the "state of the art".
The devices he designs and develops are designed to achieve more functions with as few components as possible and his greatest ability lies in perfectly integrating these functions into the geometry of the components while taking care of their aesthetic appearance and beautiful design.

INCOMPARABLE
It is a striking three-dimensional sculpture, arranged on several levels, designed to completely integrate the structure, the dials and the mechanism, where each component is easily visible and identifiable.
The architecture of the M30TP highlights the innovative devices inside it, organised to appear as though they float in a bridge.
It sits in perfect longitudinal and transverse symmetry, with a mechanism designed so that every dial can be easily and correctly read from both sides of the clock.
Every piece of information displayed on the dials of the M30TP, including years, months and days of the week, is expressed in the universal language of numbers.
At the heart of the M30TP is an exposed movement, with a flying Tourbillon escapement featuring a large, exposed balance wheel in its center.
The M30TP also incorporates an innovative perpetual calendar that marks a revolution in clockmaking.
The exclusivity of this timepiece lies not only in its underlying principles, but in the way each of its components are lovingly finished by hand.
In order to fully understand any work of art, viewers must first reach a state of peace and tranquility.
Only then can they truly understand all its meanings and its most hidden details. At that moment, in that condition, their hearts beat at their resting heart rates.
The oscillation frequency of the M30TP‘s Tourbillon balance wheel can be custom-designed to beat at the exact resting heartbeat of its owner, easing him or her back into this state of blissful tranquility everytime they are near it and listen to it.
This is how M30TP is unbreakably linked to the person who chooses it, like any La Vallée timepiece.

WHAT MAKES THE M30TP MOVEMENT
UNIQUE
WHAT MAKES THE M30TP MOVEMENT
UNIQUE
PERPETUAL
CALENDAR
It is designed to use the fewest possible components and to use very little energy, so it employs only 7 moving elements, including its 4 gears.
Its symmetrical and minimal architecture makes it as simple and reliable as possible: it can be adjusted with the tip of a finger, at any time, at any speed and in a bidirectional way
Three technical solutions guarantee its accuracy:
• a double magnetic suspension that minimises friction
• a 'Remontoir' that releases the same amount of energy to the escapement every five minutes, smoothing out any force variations from the winding spring
• a three-point contact balance wheel, made of two different metals, conceived to compensate all the rate variations due to temperature, spring elasticity and oil viscosity variations thanks to its thermal expansions.

M30TP
NESTLED IN A DESIGN TABLE
This unique timepiece is designed to be nestled inside a table, such as "The Grey T", a table with essential geometric lines that binds to the naturalness of gray oak, steel and glass, materials used to build the M30TP itself.
The table that houses the M30TP can be completely customized in shape and materials to better adapt to any customer tastes.
