Tourbillion on a Seagull?

Seagull has a $800 onei just saw on chrono

@@Marshell99 yes seagull makes a tourbillon movement

Who's going to repair it? Or service it?

​@@ketaminekpno one, they're just gonna replace it another cheaply made tourbillion if you send it back

Having a good product is not enough . You have to market the product the right way to the right people which breguet does poorly .

@@songoku-jx3cb I agree, that is very important.

Breguet are stuck in the past, their watches are amazing but they’re not catering to the new consumers at all.

​@miggygetright6344 they don't have to. As long as they still make actually cool stuff

⁠​⁠​⁠@@miggygetright6344So Breguet is like Rolls Royce they can careless what other car manufacturers are doing they will keep making the same product for their target audience and with great quality because their product speaks for itself people that know watches know they’re good quality watches just like people who know cars know Rolls Royce makes good quality vehicles the audience that wants to buy either brand knows who they are they don’t need to market like these other brands because they are established

I got mine for 40 bucks

I was a bit skeptical of Agelocer tourbillon, it’s so cheap, I wonder how they can make it for so cheap. How is it as a watch overall?

@avarmauk is absolutely brilliant, I'd recommend one.

They’re decent, but the problem with them is finding a watchmaker to repair or service them. It’s expensive to service. And the parts are difficult to get.

Now under 400 dolar

they are fantastic looking, but i'd rather get a cheap skeleton from a shithouse company

crap

What do you class as affordable? Sub 10k or not?

Cheapest sugess tourbillion is about $700

Those are synthetic rubies. Often called jewels. Since they are the second hardest material before diamonds, they almost never wear out, so in watches they are mainly used as bearings in a watch movement to reduce the friction between a watch's mechanical components protecting them from getting worn out.

I think I agree, evidenced by the flood of cheap Chinese Tourbillon s available, typically on TV shopping channels

It’s a flex and looks cool. But serves no real function beyond that. To be fair any mechanical watch is pretty unnecessary in the modern world.

A mechanical movement is totally unnecessary in a modern watch. It’s a craft, let people make cool things and then buy them or don’t.

Lots of things are, but weren't buying these things for pure and absolute usefulness, are we?

Watches as a whole are completely unnecessary. That's why the tourbillon is even more necessary 😜 as decoration

Chinese are good at complexity but not quality. Atleast I think so. They do make a lot of machines which are complex, but I've never seen good quality.

@@vyrsh0the point though is that it can still be done. So if it’s going to be good quality, maybe $5k at the most. What justifies $999,800 price increase?

@@daltonparker7792 maybe they don't have that kind of engineers or lack some kind machines, but Chinese are never able to produce quality stuff for some reason. and I have specifically seen it in mechanical stuff not civil or electrical. how much money you put in is hardly going to make a difference.

@@vyrsh0 the Chinese actually make some of the finest time pieces in the world, along side japan. It’s the price point you look at though. The grand seiko for example, is the most precise mechanical time piece in existence (aside from super computers that cost$$$), it’s hand polished beyond the standards of any other watch maker in the world, and it still remains elegant and simple. The grand seiko is a marvel of engineering, and is made by 3 guys I believe, from the drawing board, all the way to the customer. And yet, those watches cost $10k brand new. It’s a level of precision that is unmatched. But these watches are going for $100k, simply for a gimmick. :/

@@daltonparker7792 yes, completely forgot about that.

But it looks cooooool 😎

Wdym? He explained it about as well as you can in a short. It’s a mechanism that rotates the spring that causes the watch to “beat”, that way gravity gets more evenly applied to said spring as you wear it throughout the day. Explain it much further and the video becomes a physics lesson.
