Powered by groundbreaking complications of exceptional sophistication and crafted in Italy’s
stunning Lake Como region, M30TP stands as a testament to visionary innovation.
The M30TP Aero is designed not only to impress at a glance, but to reveal itself over time.
It is a mechanical narrative told in layers, inviting the observer into a deeper, more personal
connection.
The more one looks, the more one sees: new details emerge and unexpected conceptual links
between them come to light.
Beating with the calm cadence of a resting heart, it draws the mind into a quiet rhythm. Its floating architecture, with each component in peaceful motion, carries you on a silent journey,
inviting the eye to linger and discover more with every gaze.
An harmony of heart and mechanism,
where instants become seasons in the perpetual calendar of our lives, and time itself becomes
poetry: this is the essence of our creation.
In 2018, the development of a groundbreaking new mechanism began, one designed to push the boundaries of traditional watchmaking.
La Vallée entrusted the project to Luciano Sasso, Head of R&D,
who transformed the vision into mechanical reality.
He designed and developed the M30TP with a radical approach:
to challenge convention through ultra-minimalist mechanisms and
complications, created with remarkably few moving parts, unexpected behaviours, unconventional aesthetics and a completely new architecture.
The first edition took shape in the Timeless Table Project, a timepiece
fully integrated within a table, a unique creation where the mechanics were immersed in the furniture itself.
Building on the majesty and design
of that model, La Vallée went on to create a second edition: the M30TP Aero, conceived without case constraints, fully free and visible up close, where every detail can be observed and appreciated in its entirety.

With contours that recall wind-sculpted forms, the M30TP Aero’s sleek, symmetrical silhouette presents a
captivating presence from every angle.
The M30TP Aero displays striking three-dimensional architecture and sophisticated geometry. Every gear
and complication appear to float within the structure, each element in motion contributing to a
mesmerizing display.
The timepiece reveals an elegant arc-shaped profile, while a series of overlapping dials, themselves
structural components, rise above it, culminating in the centrally positioned five-minute tourbillon at the
highest point.
Symmetry is the guiding principle of the design: every component is perfectly balanced around the central axis. The six dials, designed with opposing windows, allow hours, minutes, and calendar indications to be read simultaneously from both sides.
All information is revealed through rotating discs in a striking,
language-free numerical format and indicated opposing windows
positioned on the dials, ensuring clear, immediate, and harmonious legibility.
The M30TP doesn’t just tell time, it redefines how time is experienced.
How to read the M30TP Aero:
The M30TP turns mechanical complexity into harmonious ingenuity. At the heart of the movement lies a five-minute remontoire, which accumulates energy from the mainspring barrel and releases it in regular pulses to the large, low-frequency tourbillon
escapement.
A red-accented, gearless indicator, driven by the remontoire spring, sweeps along a path
beside the minute apertures, marking the intermediate minutes.
Every five minutes, as the stored energy is released, the red hand returns to its starting position while the main minute display gently and smoothly advances. The day of the week, the date, the month, and the turn of the year are shown on the other four dials, all governed by the patented perpetual calendar in a flawless, magnetically controlled mesmerizing movement.
Designed to transcend tradition, this timepiece boasts two revolutionary innovations: a patented
perpetual calendar and a cutting-edge tourbillon escapement.
The result is a movement that does not simply measure time, but reinvents it,
transforming every moment into a unique visual and mechanical experience.
The M30TP Aero features a revolutionary patented perpetual calendar that redefines mechanical complexity and challenges the status quo. Unlike traditional multi-component calendars, it is conceived around the use of eccentric gears and relies on just seven moving components, including four meshing gears, making it capable of fast, reversible motion, which ensures extraordinary precision and reliability.
Designed to be functional and intuitive, this patented perpetual calendar is extraordinarily easy to use:
with a simple touch of a finger, it can be adjusted both forwards and backwards, at any speed and at any
time of the day remaining always synchronised, with no risk of damage.
It requires no lubrication and provides a seamless user experience, transforming the calendar into a perfect
example of horological brilliance and functional design.
Shattering the boundaries of horological ingenuity:
a huge 70 mm flying tourbillon, running magnetically suspended
with no cage nor external bridge, powered by a five-minute minute remontoire
and having a minute hand directly attached to its cylindrical spring.
Discover these innovative features:
To ensure accuracy throughout the 30-day power reserve period, the huge 70mm,
60 gram weight escapement balance wheel is guided only laterally by two rubies
while a magnetic suspension system comprising two shielded opposing magnets
holds the entire weight and stabilises the vertical position.
The magnetic field opposition,
in conjunction with the special shield, ensures an almost zero residual field near the sensitive escapement components.
The magnetic suspension concept is highlighted by exposing the balance wheel which has no cage or bridge covering it. An annular hairspring, with both inner end curve and outer overcoil - has been developed to expose the special tourbillon bridge that holds the balance upper ruby from the inside. The tourbillon assembly weight is also magnetically compensated, to reduce bearing friction and improve performance.
Rather than trying to minimise the effects of individual factors such as the hair spring, balance expansion and oil viscosity, the trilobe balance wheel is adjusted to completely compensate their combined negative effect on timekeeping.

The minute hand is directly attached to the five-minute remontoire’s cylindrical spring and it is therefore driven gearless, employing what we call “elastic proportionality principle”, and avoiding important energy variations to the escapement.
The 5 minute Tourbillon is provided with a dedicated Stop&Go system designed to release a smooth force for the escapem
For over four decades, La Vallée has devoted itself to crafting entirely bespoke masterpieces, each
one born from an intimate dialogue with its commissioner.
With the M30TP, this philosophy finds its most poetic and daring expression, reaching deep into
the private, emotional realm of its owner, and forging a bond between human and machine that is
truly one of a kind.
At the heart of the timepiece lies its soul: the 5-minute flying tourbillon, which can be meticulously
engineered to mirror your unique resting heart rate, creating a profound synergy between rhythm,
heart, and time itself.
The M30TP Aero doesn’t just tell the time — it tells your time.
