Wow! That's awesome. Enjoy it - looks like a helluva watch. I've tooled around with the Trias Tourbillon's in the past - mesmerizing!

That is very nice, Oscar. It appears to be the same movement as in the one I ordered. That is made by Sea-Gull. Remember when T.T. made such a big deal of the Sthurling tourbillon that was "only" $6,000 or something like that. It had an early version of the movement in your watch. I am anxious to hear how your's times out. I'm wondering about the power reserve if you have to give it a couple extra turns during the day. hand6.gif

I just found out on another forum that this movement is made by Million Smart. Don't know if that is good or bad.

Ty everyone! hand6.gif I am waiting for it to wind down to take more Pics....the reserve of power is about 18hrs. on the initial winding (8-10 turns)and must be wound daily as well as a couple turns during the day to keep it running from what I have experiencedwatch2.gifIt runs very smooth and listening to the Tourbillon is Sweet...the ticking is clearer and louder.As far as who makes this movement I don't know and will ask TT when he is back from Holiday:) Milion Smart is a large manufacturer of Tourbillon Watches(RandyG has owned one for years without problem) but I did not see this model in their inventory nor model #...I have attached a link to their sitecool10.gifMore later...TY Johnny for all the Tourbillon history!time2.gif

That is really nice Brotha O and it is definitely nice that you finally got one because I remember us talking about this during the summertime.  I will wait to fine out what you guys think after a couple of weeks.hand6.gif
