Grand Complication Orbital Tourbillion

Looks quite interresting http://puretimewatch.com/index.php?productID=610

As far as i know Breguet does not make an orbital tourbillon, but they are out there:

To be honest...I don't think this one captures any of the beauty or "complication" of a regular tourbillon at all. It looks merely like dial cutouts onto undecorated bridges with cheap hands.

It's not a hit in my eyes...

Breguet does have an "orbital" tourbillion, if by that you mean that the tourbillion rotates thru the dial however it has 2 Tourbillions

I don’t think that the rep has a tourbillion but mimics the rotation… Any way it’s not even close the real thing

Agree absolutely - it looks cheap and some "handyman" has been cutting holes in it - to expose a poor interior.

It's certainly not for me either.

I have to agree with Toady too, however if emuozz wants to sell me his Breguet for $468 then I'll be all over it.

Those pictures make me cry with envy

While I have to agree that it's not the most attractive movement ever made, especially when compared to a gorgeous authentic Breguet, it is certainly a clever little complication that I would love to see in action. I would pick this watch up but the price - $468 - is a little steep in relation to the product involved.

For $200 I'd buy one, just because it's really interesting.

What's next? An Asian copy minute repeater movement? That'll be the day...

The watch in itself isnt much, that wasn't the point. It is an interesting movement, where the tourby is the entire dial. Since it's chinees (seagull?), i think its a pretty good archievement.

Indeed Corgi, this proves to me they move at a pretty fast pace, the day they will make a minute repeater, it wil be a great day.
