If you can look past some of the campaign text :roll:
I'm quite taken by the FERVENT “NOCTIS” variant :-k
Plus, a Tourbillon Watch for under £500 :shock:

Those hands are mounted above the centre of the dial. Throws the whole thing off in my eyes.

The campaign text was merely the tip of the pimple. I couldn’t see past the tasteless design and shoddy finishing.

Could be a conversation piece! Very interesting indeed. To have a tourbillon would be cool. However, as I understand it, a tourbillon is the pinnacle of watchmaking, a means to enhance accuracy. Which makes +-25spd kind of a head scratcher. Seems like it’s a cheap tourbillon for tourbillon’s sake. And if that’s what you’re after, more power to ya :thumbup:

I'm with you on that point Rich. It looks all out of sorts.

The movement manufacturer is unspecified, as far as I can see, so presumably Chinese.

Overall; I'll pass.

It is Chinese turbillion. By the finish and architecture probably Hangzhou.

Quoted accuracy of ±25s per day. What's the point?

“Well, Minister, were one to be questioned, hypothetically of course, regarding one’s preparedness to attach the aforementioned instrument to the carpal region of one’s anatomy for the purposes of temporal observation, then all things being equal, mutatis mutandis, and notwithstanding the variance of individual proclivities, one might well be inclined to respond with an utterance expressing a certain reluctance.”

”That’s a no, then, Humphrey?”

”Oh, Minister, be a little bolder, please!”

”How about: Not ****ing likely, Humphrey?”

”Yes, Minister.”
