slickdick Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 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: http://www.europastar.com/europastar/magaz...t_id=1000901634 Cheers!

Toadtorrent Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emuozz Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 (edited) 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 Edited December 16, 2008 by emuozz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

KB Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 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. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corgi Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slickdick Posted January 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
