Ok, nice and beautifully executed but remember that the tourbillon was conceived for pocket watches who was holding verticaly in the jacket(for exemple). In fact, the tourbillon feature got meaning on precision when placed vertical and can even be a handicap when it's horizontal: Setting the watch's perfomances long away from any cosc standard and maybe at the same range than a Seagull, to say it like that... This is why some trades like Zenith,JL... came up with a gyroscopic tourbillon or zero gravity toubillon who adapt better to the wrist's movements. All in all: It's just for the look when it's fixed mounted... You may look those little videos to understand a bit more. I'm very far to be a tourbillon expert but it don't take long to understand... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WA6NtYrza0&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWdlPMQlig4&feature=related |

I'm a big fan of mechanic ingineering and love tourbillons but I think that lately, it's been a big fashion status for high brands to make tourbillons: A real fever in fact. Before this fever, the tourbillon was rare and extremely exclusives. They are still exclusives by the price but not by the rarity as so many brands had to have them own tourbillons: And many times it's just for the show off, not for the precision...Too sad somehow. Anway, RGM makes great pieces and I wish them luck! |
