Beat Haldimann at BaselWorld 2010
The tourbillon as poetry in pure form, that is what Beat Haldimann's watches are about.
Beat showed his H1 with the single tourbillon floating above the dial, the H2 with two tourbillons in resonance floating above the dial and the enigmatic H8, the tourbillon as pure kinetic art, without timekeeping duties.

Beautiful poetry....
Just beautiful! I could imagine watching the tourbillon float... Thanks Don!
Decisions, decisions, decisions..
Thanks for your fantastic pics that show the dimension and elevation of the fantastic tourbillons!
just wondering, why when Roman Jerome brings out a tourbillon that
doesn't tell time he gets laughed out of the room but Haldiman's tourbillon which doesn't tell time either gets lauded? not defending the RJ which I find a joke but the Haldiman doesn't make sens either!
What makes the difference
Maybe what makes the difference is that BH makes it all by hand and its all his invention and a piece of art, while RJ orders it from BNB or whom as a commercial product. Could that be the reason? In any case it is a matter of taste.
I don't remember exactly...
how Roman Jerome marketed their watch. Beat doesn't claim that the H8 is a watch. It is a kinetic sculpture. I may have said watch to it, but those were my words, not his. Don
