Anyone else think the Revolution 2 horizontal track looks tacky?

 

I personally think the idea of a twin rotational tourbillion is excellent, adding to the visual delight of a spinning tourbillion. However, I feel that the Revolution 2's tourbillion design looks very tacky with the horizontal "track" standing out like a sore thumb.
The Thomas Prescher Torkel Tourbillion is a MUCH better dual axis tourbillion design. Looking forward to see how Mr. Prescher will fit the Torkel into a wristwatch.

This then leads me to think, how can one improve both tourbillion designs?
Instead of the horizontal "track" on the Revolution 2, I think the tourbillion will look more elegant spinning on two axes on the sides of the toubillion. Imagine drawing a line from 60 to 0 in the picture below and having the tourbillion spinning "up and down" on the plane. Hope I am making sense here. Revolution 3 maybe?



For the Torkel, is it possible to add a 360 degrees rotating third axis? Imagine the "fixed base" spinning as a third axis along with the dual axes.



Looking forward to hearing your views.

Thank you, of course, to Jaw for the excellent written article.
