a very very nice piece of art indeed... but the sad truth is that not all people can afford buying watches like this... i just cant stop replaying from 2:11 till end... ^_^
There are many watches with tons of rubies. They don't do anything useful, but clients pay for them.
Likewise the tourbillon; just another pointless complication aimed at vacuum-cleaning money out of gullible people's credit cards. Not seen in the most accurate watches!
Save money! Buy from a watchmaker like Muehle who up-grades ETA 2824-2s and regulates in all positions, well within COSC norms whether you pay the extra for a COSC certification
@hacker, etc: Once you attain less than + 2sec/day, which my watchmaker can obtain from a 2824-2 with swan-neck regulator or from any of the "better" ETA /Valjoux/Unitas movements I have owned, there is no way such accuracy can be improved upon by a watch with a tourbillon for twice the price and beyond.
My collection is very fluid; at the moment maybe only 1/3 have ETAs, so your sarcasm has failed. Don't bother retaliating; you'll only look foolish. Again.
I'm a proud owner of, GMT Master IIc, Breiting seawolf, Hublot big bang.
and its a art to have a tourbillon, never said its better than COSC standards, but its a art. My seawolf, and hublot are base movements from ETA. I dont wear Gen watches and know nothing about them like most owners do.
@hackerandcrackersinc There we have agreement. Watch making has always evolved in three manners, in descending order: precision; prowess and prettiness. The greatest watchmakers compose with all three. My working life always contained an engineering element, always in far-flung, isolated places; what greater example of engineering can go anywhere my wrist will go? I don't connect with complications for their own sake, but I do with artistic flair. Go figure...
@hackerandcrackersinc (PART TWO) Whatever I buy from a pen to a house using skill in a prowess that has no functional end-product frustrates me. Did that person have nothing better to do with their talent? I will buy a watch with a tourbillon, when the current fad has died down and the prices become more realistic: I'm a collector, and have to try to have one of everything...
I am passionate about good-looking watches, but that does not extend to watches that are not satisfying technically.
@Cujucuyo: It would seem that you are the one knowing nothing about watches Cujucuoy. Quote: "Around the 1960s this 'jewel craze' reached ridiculous heights, and manufacturers made watches with 41, 53, 75, or even 100 jewels." source: en.wikipedia[dotorg]/wiki/Mechanical_watch
100 rubies ? you know how much maintenance would cost..replacing 100 rubies ? the repairer would basically have to take the whole watch apart and put it back together again.
might as well get a new watch...see how silly that sounds ?
besides a 100 ruby watch is over clocked...the average vacheron would only have 30 or so.
That's the nice thing, you see...rubies are very strong so they don't need replacing in a lifetime. Plus i bet 100 rubies isn't as expensive as the watch itself :)
And even greater, people that do not understand stuff like this "i dun get watches" or do not appreciate the art of watches don't buy them. People that do, pay a lot of money for it...so why not ask it? Wouldn't you if you could :D
Modern jewels are inexpensive because they're synthetic. Even when natural stones were used they were cheap because they weren't gem quality, they're used as bearings not for decoration.
It costs quite a bit to make a watch like this simply because they're mass produced, a tourbillon like this is the rare exception where it's cheaper to make a few than many.
I'm making a tourbillon myself and it definitely hasn't cost me 95k and it won't. My most recent video shows my watch.
100 Rubies? Don't be so God-Damn stupid. Go learn something about watches before saying something so ignorant, not even the Patek Philippe Sky-Moon Tourbillon has 100 jewels, it has 55.
The tourbillon cage looks like it was made by BNB; it has the radially bent arms, 3/4 sector rotor and "hollow" wheels which are all hallmarks of BNB design.
Whats the song called thats being played in the background? cant find it anywhere. Its so soothing to listen to.
