If there is one complicated element that has been in a whirlwind (pun intended) of developments, it has been the tourbillon. And while tourbillons are still fairly expensive, you don’t have to spend $100,000 anymore, as many brands now have great offerings for even a third of that amount.

And all of this for a more-than-fair price that is bound to catapult this brand deep into the hearts of watch enthusiasts.
