A small collection of tourbillons
I recently had the pleasure of viewing a small collection of tourbillon watches. Even though the collection is few in number and focuses on only one complication, it demonstrate varied and good taste with equal representation from established brands (Patek and JLC) and independents (RM and FP Journe). The collection also demonstrates different styles of watchmaking, from classical Patek, to classical inspired Journe, to classical high-tech JLC, to ultra-modern RM.
Congratulations to the owner of this collection.

samll by the number, but pinnacle!
what to say, a big WOW!!! Top focused collection on one of the pinnacles of watch making! thanks for sharing. Matt
a great collection
clearly very well thought out too. Wonder what will be next - Greubel Forsey? Best, Andreas
Tourbillon heaven
Wow that is indeed a nice group of high end tourbys.. I like the Patek the most, secretly rotating at the back
Fantastic assembly, and I get the hidden message.
The collective value of the watches can buy approximately 500000 units of that advertised LCD TVs, I get it. Very sublimal - Best, Horo
Amazing things do come in small packages.
I'd love to see what the rest of their non-tourbillon collection looks like.
That's a fantastic unveiling ...
... Thanks for the slight tease unzipping the case, SJX. It would have been an exciting moment, particularly if you didn't know what to expect inside. Superb collection of four quite distinct tourbillons. A treat to see. Thanks! Andrew
Loved it!!
All beautiful watches, I liked the FP journe the best and the patek the least. I am not a big fan of vintage. The JLC did not look like a typical JLC, it was unique! Congrats to the owner. Thanks for sharing. Cheers SamEE
one word WOW
Terrific, incredible collection of tourbillons. And more than anything, it's a very coherent collection with incredible watches, especially the Gyro and the RM. ( Though I must say the Patek and the Journe Tourbillon are also incredible in their own way) ...
