I've always liked the Turbine. Seeing it action on youtube makes me think it's a bit ott at times.

I can think of watches I'd rather have for the same, or a lot less, money.

yes

Huge amounts of history behind the brand! Take for example the spinning rotor found in automatic watches; invented by Abraham-Louis Perrelet in 1777. However I'm not keen on the range myself and as Arun D said, even though the turbine effect (or double rotor design on other models) is pretty cool, I think I'd get fed up with it after awhile!

I'd much rather sink £4K+ into a Zenith Chronomaster Open, with the 'open heart' window. Interesting, yet elegant smile
