Not sure if it has posted before, but if you like the design (not for me as i dont like lambos either) then this has to be a bargain, if it comes to fruition

I have a chum who has a Richard Mille watch on which I presume this is homaged? Having seen the RM I'm amazed how difficult it is to see the hands when you're pissed. Not for me.

Yes, but when you crawl home making a racket getting your keys in the door what a great excuse when the missus says "what time do you call this?" laugh

This is the finest and highest grade skeletonized Tourbillon available on the market.

Hangzhou Tourbillon 3450 - Ah the junk Chinese movement.

They claim they can service for $150, that just means they will replace the whole movement laugh

The price of the sapphire is impressive however.

I can’t get past the font change in the brand name; the ‘E’ looks really odd!

This watch is certainly being pushed on various social media platforms and it follows all the usual Alibaba/Chinese watch advertising methods. Disrupting the affordable luxury middleman. It’s a cheap tourbillon watch that will appeal to many ...

I do wonder where/who they are sourcing their sapphire cases from at such low prices. Perhaps a replica producer has perfected the process? Either or, it will be interesting to see how the finished sapphire case finish compares to more expensive Swiss watches.

Has anyone pledged money towards this watch? Has anyone thought about buying a Chinese tourbillon watch - just to have a tourbillon in their collection?

Err, it's still made by a Chinese factory though? What gets me the Chinese have near perfected the art of building copy timepieces and by putting a bit more quality control and effort into it they could have an opportunity to build their own. Or is this watch it?

If anyone buys one do they have to dye their hair and dress like that chap Producer Michael in the linked video? Somebody really needs to have a word with him, at his age, that is not the way to dress! rolleyes

That looks awfully like the movement in the most recent Waldhoff releases - Vanguard and Imperial, but at 3-4 times the price,

I bought a Vanguard on their Kickstarter as I fancied a cheap tourbillon with the benefit of a Europe-based warranty, and in its defence it’s very accurate.
