First Tourbillon

[georgiacombat]

Until seeing the YouTube videos of Tourbillons I had no idea what they were. Initially I thought a tourbillon was just a watch which had a portion of the face cut away to show the movement. That one video completely changed my thinking. I am mesmerized with the movement and fascinated when watching it run.

Here is my first tourbillon, notice there is no "brand" name on it:

This came from Homer, and I have to say his service and communication is terrific (his prices are pretty good too). This is a silver watch, with a beautiful movement. I think this tourbillon movement is from Liaoning watch, and is distributed through MillionSmart. There are many tourbillons available from our reputable dealers and it was hard choosing between the ones from Josh, Andrew, Angus, River, Homer and others. Ultimately the things I wanted i.e. silver watch, power reserve indicator, white dial, and no brand name pointed to Homer's inventory.

I apologize in advance for the photos, they are the best myl little camera will do in macro mode. To get the best detail the flash was turned off for these shots and that makes the watch appear to have a slight rose patina, it doesn't, its silver:

The strap is very nice. It is thick and has a single deployant clasp. Here's a view on the wrist. I am 6' even and 220lbs so you can see it is nicely sized.

Now that I've got a tourbillon I believe I will be adding more soon.

Best regards, Lou.
