fotoman Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 check out this concord touby - it has the tourby in the side of the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corgi Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 As an accomplishment in horological technology and innovation it is no doubt astonishing, but something appears to have been forgotten along the way. In the interest of achieving the impossible and overcoming the constraints of conventional design; proportion and, as a result, overall appearance have suffered. Take a look at the watch below. No doubt it's much simpler and likely much cheaper, but it embodies the pure vintage spirit which is associated to every tourbillon timepiece. The futuristic technology was there in 1801, but the design was so distinct of a period so ripe with beauty that even today it surpasses any need for change.

Shundi Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 I agree with Corgi...it's cool like the Zenith is cool, but the classic tourby is the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ztech Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 I saw that watch on an ad in a magazine. Looked really interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotoman Posted July 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 I agree with Corgi...it's cool like the Zenith is cool, but the classic tourby is the best. it really depends though on when, (if you could afford it) would you wear it for me, i try to dress down as much as possible, so a tourby like this you could wear with jeans and a tshirt as opposed to the breguet - now - if you had the $$ to burn on these in the first place - why not own both fyi, my homer tourby is still the star of my collection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gran Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 (edited) WOW! AMAZING WATCH! THINK WE'LL EVER SEE A REP OF THIS? Maybe if demands are high enough but it will not be an accurate or working one Edited July 25, 2008 by Gran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geo1nah2a Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 http://www.c1-tourbillon.ch/blog/ There is no way we will ever see a rep coming close to this watch. Even without the tourbillon. Llook at the dial. Off center running time, off center chrono with minutes & hours using the same subdial, thrust indicator.. Forgetaboutit. Have a look at the cheap replicas of B&R tourbillon, the Concord will not come even that close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today I have one in my watch box But I agree.. this is very very improbable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
