Great choices
The Haldimann H1 without doubt. And the platinum version of the Tradition Tourbillon has been on my radar for a while. While I love the original yellow gold of the 'basic' La Tradition, it's all a bit much in the Tourbillon. I think the Pt version with the varying shades of grey is a wonderfully modern update and ties in nicely with the silicon balance spring and titanium Tourbillon cage in my mind. Old world meets modern world. Yummy!

Tourbillon Photo Thread
Hi All, Does a picture speak a thousand words? We have been discussing the 'value' of tourbillons in a wristwatch a few threads down. But I think it's time to remind ourselves about the poetic beauty of these mechanical wonders. Please share your favorite...
Alwaysa toss up between these 2 for me
There are other ones that I love but really out of my salary-slave budget. The Haldimann H1 and Breguet Tradition Tourbillon Pics are off the web....
I really wish someone would post a Journe tourbillon
since I have nothing to contribute, myself. Best Andreas
Yes! Good idea, Andreas...
Perhaps a platinum one? With grey dial? It would be terrific if someone would post one of those... Cheers, pplater.
Oh how dare you....
Ever since I missed her a few years back... I've been regretting my decision ever since... Your picture just reminded me of this painful mistake! Seriously though, thanks for the picture of this wonderfully rare beast!
I have a feeling.....
that someone will do so shortly... Someone that deserves it on his wrist maybe? Cheers
Indeed..
.. And how much more interesting if there's also a comparison shot with a similar styled non-tourbillon in gold dial that would be a perfect picture
Someone beat me or it :(-
But Cenjkt's rose gold with MOP dial is much much more unique, and suck a beaut!! Best, Horo
"Suck a beaut"?
Dude, this is pubic forum, hence no sucking or licking or whatever. cenpervertlyyours@jkt

Favorite tourbillons . . .
. . . include the Glashütte Original Tourbillon Regulator . . . . . . and Karree . . . . . . JLC skeleton Reverso . . . . . . and Christian Klings No 7, photo courtesy Suitbert. My favorite watch is the Omega central tourbillon . . . . . . but, difficult ...
Hmmmm....
I'll have the Karree please . First time I see that watch, somehow it eluded me beforehand. Thanks for the great pics! Filip
The Karrees are like persimmons . . .
. . . you either love them or hate them - nothing in-between!
Persimmons?! Who wouldn't like persimmons!!??
Is like say some people don't like strawberry. Everyone ... .... wait ... ... no ... ... NO! Not strawberry ... ... vanilla ... ... yes... VANILLA. Everyone love vanilla. Even my grandma love vanilla. She can't pronounce it but she love it. So ... ... why...
I can think of an example like....
Durian, a tropical fruit which can illicit immense desire or disgust. Personally, I conform to the former after hesitantly sampling the first bite many years ago.
The Omega and the JLC...
2 of my very favourite Tourbillons, here. I'd add the Freak Diavolo, just to be sure that it is a Tourbillon, which I'm not sure if we speak about the " normal " Freak. And a JLC Gyro I, for the pleasure of the eyes and of the soul, for the good measure. ...
ohh Art
that Glashütte Original Tourbillon Regulator just knocked me out... another kind of endless beauty ... i knew that the omega will be in your post , by the way its one of my favorits as well , Art. Faisal
there are many many tourbillons i would love to own
although not nessesarily because they are tourbillons. as Art has said, its the aesthetics of the watch that are more important than the actual tourbillon inside. my immediate purchase, should miracles happen, would be the Omega Central Tourbillon. a beau...
The one on my wrist :-)
Sorry not a great picture... my Hublot Tourbillon Manufacture......
To me, the best horological bang for the buck....
Is none other than this darling. It doesnt get any better - really, it doesnt...
No No surprises here…
Don’t have a pic of the Gyro II, but if I had I would add that one to… Best Blomman...
In the end I could not part with it
Spared from the recent round of layoffs. Cheers, Mike This message has been edited by mkt33 on 2011-02-28 15:00:03...
not soon enough I'm afraid
but at least I can still stare at this while missing the others Best, Mike...
:-) Of necessity...
... the sympathy on offer is somewhat qualified. Delightful, though, to see you in posession of at least one masterpice still. ;-) Cheers, pplater.
My favorite tourbillon
Gyro I or II, and tourbograph, as I tend to like bigger 40mm case, that s all I can think so far, at the moment I am in love with sporty tourbillon, and been wearing this for last 3 weeks, Amvox 3 is so original and discreet sporty watch, but the tourbill...

While I did write well over a thousand words (and post many photos) about this watch here: ahci.watchprosite.com I will simply share this excellent photo that Curtis Thomson took of my watch: Of all the tourbillons out there this was THE ONE! Bill...
Phenomenal pictures Craig!
Thank you for sharing them, those macro's of the cages are superb... Warm regards, Tim
