    Far as tourbillions go, Jon's GIF above shows me in the empty seat.

    We can thank people like Pluto for coming up with a water driven alarm clock and persons like Su Sung or YI Xing Hsing which ever you chose to be the spelling for the escapement. And like that 2.5 million dollar watch in another thread it just goes to prove there are seemingly no end to the accomplishments and complexities to mechanisms

    You missed one point, the size. To think someone is going to wear it on his wrist. The Tourbillon movement has always dazzled me, I could sit and study it for hours. Gorgeous!

    Nelson you are correct anytime it requires a 500x signification to spot the possibility of a minor flaw which could prevent a perfect movement a lot of credit must be given to the artisan
