This is Bugatti’s formula for timeless interiors.

While many hypercars lean on oversized displays and digital interfaces, Bugatti has deliberately chosen a mechanical, analogue route for its instrumentation. The Tourbillon makes that approach clear.

That decision even shaped the French hypercar’s name: “tourbillon” is a watchmaking mechanism invented in 1801 to counter accuracy deviations caused by gravity.

Instead of the usual digital instrument cluster, the Bugatti Tourbillon features a fully analogue cockpit, with gauges that echo purely mechanical timepieces. It was developed in collaboration with the Swiss firm Concepto, a specialist in complex watch movements.

The assembly comprises more than 650 individual parts, all hand-built using haute horlogerie techniques, adapted to withstand the vibrations, acceleration forces, and temperature swings a car imposes. Every gear and fine detail was custom-designed, creating a singular blend of automotive engineering and the craft of watchmaking.

Bugatti brings the concept into the instrument panel to deliver a timeless visual and tactile experience-one that, unlike a screen, is unlikely to feel dated in the more distant future.

Customers can personalise the visible details with classic watch-finishing styles-guilloché, Clous de Paris, Tapisserie-and lavish materials such as aventurine, rubies, and sapphire crystal.
