A super cool piece, with a nice solution to jump the date hand past the tourbillon cage.

A very JLC engineering solution.

Who remembers this poor collector's tourbillon? Had it and enjoyed it for about 2-3 years. ...  

I remember this watch fondly!

When introduced, the low price (mid $20,000 range IIRC) ruffled many feathers of those in the industry. The watch later experienced a few price hikes before being discontinued. A bold move by JLC and was a very nice watch for the money.

IIRC it was initially offered at $28k US... could be off

But you could probably find it somewhere with enough Googling

A very quick search yielded this...

35,000 Euro and that was with Taxes included. Unsure what the conversion was back then but the dollar I’m fairly certain was stronger then than it is currently.

That's it. [nt]

US introductory retail price was $39k [nt]

They maintain a standard worthy of the Maison but still manages to make certain “high” complications available at an accessible price! BW, Chi Kai
