Thanks for posting. The three screw cage of these tourbillons just scream cheap/knock off to me. The U40 is about the only one in a "lower price" category that can come close and they do a good job.

I remember when JLC had the "cheapest" tourbillon but these don't do anything for me.  There is a market out there for these so hats off to them, its just not for me.  Get the cage right and maybe we can talk=)



ETA- I know a lot of tourbillon cages have three screws, but there is a certain look of three big screws that stand out with these and seem like they are all from same manufacture, thats what it feels like at least.  Good news is machining has come a long way and maybe a mortal with champagne taste can wade in the tourbillon waters one day.

and this is even an euphemism The one you showed is a Hublot knockoff I didn't know them so went to their site Let's copy RM too ... And we all know what this pretends to be Let's NOT support these brands and btw, the tourbillon is a cheap chinese thing ....  

Fair enough, Bruno.

Absolutely agree

Plus imagine having to service one of these... what a nightmare. You get all of the issues of a tourbillon without any of the beauty.

Not just that...

but the arrangement of the barrels and keyless works is exactly à la Armin Strom GEF: credit to Monochrome ...

Probably an unpopular opinion but I really do not like tourbillons most of the time... They take up a lot of space on the dial, usually the implementation isn't super well done, and they increase the chances of something going wrong with your watch & need...
