Saw the Omega tourbillon on 5th Ave. today

[JoJo35]

Stilty, the lovely Mrs. Stilty, and myself took a little tour through Manhattan's watch district today. Right after leaving Wempe on 5th Avenue, we strolled across the street to the Omega boutique. Wow, what a classy place that was. Besides being treated like royalty, a Swiss gentleman patiently took the time to thoroughly explain the latest in Omega's technology to us.

Besides Omega's in-house co-axial escapement movement, what really blew me away was having a first hand look at their incredible central tourbillon skeleton.

Check it out, this flying tourbillon was a sight to behold in person:

Here's an interesting link on the movement:

The Omega boutique is an amazing place. He really knew all there is to know about Omega and seeing that tourbillon in action was a special treat. The salesman was a true gentleman with great passion for his brand.

I think that tourbillon is Omega's most beautifully complex creation to date.
