Hey man, i could be very wrong but im 99% sure no tourbillon stops running when you pull the crown out to set the time. I believe most brakes are a thin copper strip that touches the balance wheel when the keyless functions. This isnt possible on the tourbillon due to:
a. The small weights around the balance wheel, cant just jam a brake in there
b. The offset wheel on carousel type tourbillons. If would be a huge feat of engineering to get a brake to function on that.
ive have a few tourbys an none of them have stopped when i pull the crown out. Just crack on with it

Ah Ok, thank you. So i cant set the Time that precise, no Problem, i dont use it to controll the Processes on a Nuclear Plant I just sit here and watch the Carousel turning

A. Lange & Söhne patented the stop-seconds mechanism in 2008. Afterwards they went further giving it a zero-reset function. It's incredible but true

Yeah your not going to be accurate to the second. I get the irony in improving the accuracy of time keeping but not being able to set the seconds! Enjoy the watch though its a beauty!

I just got my ALS and noticed that it is missing the hand in the tourbillon like the GEN.

I am kinda disappointing as it is an instant tell

GEN

Please sell it to me as I’ve got a spare hand for it.

Do you think it can be mounted on it? There isn't much space between the crystal and the jewel in the center of the tourbillon.

Sorry buddy, I’m only joking! I want the stainless steel tourby so I can sell the rose gold one back to Patrick ( Cmaster )
I have considered trying it though but don’t think a pinion could be put where the jewel is. Maybe I will ask my friendly watch guru (Ado213)

haha okay. I have a 1815 in steel.

It's on a Jean Rousseau nubuck alligator strap. Very special. It's a new colour.

I know, but it isn’t for sale!

Yeah. I don't know if i want to sell it or not. I really like it. And i've put my other Tourby up for sale, have you seen that btw? If i sell both, i have none :/ If i were to put the ALS 1815 SS with this strap on M2M it would be for 800 euro + shipping.

Wow. Thats some serious stuff there! A bit hefty price tag for a rep, but a functional double tourbillon. Thats really something.
