I'm so unoriginal...

I think my votes were with the median and mode.

I love the Dead Seconds Tourbillon. In general, I wouldn't say I'm a huge fan of tourbillons, which is arguably the most commercialized grand complication in the wristwatch industry. The Dead Seconds Tourbillon is the only tourbillon watch that I've truly truly loved.

But personally, I think one of the best tourbillon wristwatch right now is the Montblanc Villeret Tourbillon. It's a very strange design, but I think it is actually very logical. A recent post on PuristSPro convinced me that tourbillons have to be large and have a large moment of intertia to be effective. I further did some more research and I have also convinced myself that perhaps tourbillon watches are very meaningful on "slower beat" watches such as the 18,000 vph beat. Just a thought that needs to be further researched.

As much as I like the Sonnerie and I love the idea behind it, I still truly love the Dead Seconds Tourbillon. Once again, I've never felt this quite this way about a tourbillon before.

My favorite F.P. Journe watch of all-time (so far) is the Dead Seconds Tourbillon Ruthenium. Lovely.
