Amazing! What an intricate masterpiece... but I think the JLC Gyro Tourbillon is still an overall nicer "mega tourbillon".

Now that is a Tourby worthy of showing off in a display window

I must be getting old or something, because, while I love the video, I hate the watch. In fact, the entire Defy line of watches. More & more, these high-tech carnival-rides-in-a-watchcase (I would include Big Bangs, Royal Oaks & similar blinkering-bling in this group) are beginning to look as temporary & disposable as cell phones -- techno-babble-encrusted-throw-away gadgeteria that looks more at home on Mr. Spoke's wrist than on the attractive male models Zenith uses to pose them on. In fact, these watches make the models look more like a sci-fi robots than human models, which, come to think of it, is where these watches look like they belong.

Can anyone honestly imagine Sean Connery (in his prime) strapping 1 of these whiz-bang gizmos to his wrist before blowing old Auric Goldfinger into the stratosphere or taking a roll in the hay with a sultry Eurasian double-agent?

Have we lost our collective sense of style & traded ticky for tacky?

I was in basel and had it in my hands... it's far too big and useless... I was talking about that with the CEO of Zenith West Europe drinking Veuve Cliquot champagne... Hard times in basel!

[lazarini]

I agree with you guys ,way too busy and blingy.

But, good thing we don

[Toadtorrent]

That tourby cage looks amazing...too bad the rest of the watch looks kind of clunky.

[dluddy]

I agree Freddy. While I like and admire the technology behind this Tourbillon, I agree that the asthetics on this line and others are too far from my taste.

I get the idea that alot of watch brands have gotten hooked on new technology in the same way that early web page designers used to fill their web pages with every new flashing, bobbing, weaving & wowie-zowie techie gimmick they could get their hands on in an effort to steal eyes from the next guy's wowie-zowie carnival-ride-in-web-code, or just because they can (which is never a good reason to do anything). Some of these watches (like the Defy) look more like heart monitors or portable medical testing gear than high end watches, which is a pity because Zenith used to be 1 of my favorite brands. Yuck.
