Looks much better on the wrist than on our TD website. Could you share with us a little bit more love/pics/comments about this piece?

Hello @Swiss_goupil,

Sure mate, my pleasure.

Have three AP Tourbillon.

JF is the best finished, you feel it.

Much more thinner, also.

But the Skeleton is great. Love it. Not a big fan of gold watches, but this one is a beauty.

Next post goes with some pictures.

Cheers mate, really appreciate you taking the time to post those three amazing watches. Will get my first tourbillon in few days/weeks ( you never know with Lucy) - a Dubuis in RG - and next one will def will be on of those APs.

Choice will be (very) tough indeed...

I'm not much of a dress watch fan. Anyone know of some sweet turbo casual watches?

Hi all, I have been reading this thread for some time now. I am intrigued by the tourbillon, that are amazing pieces of engineering.

I have not decided on which model to get just yet. But curious why so many use the manual wind Asian tourbillon rather than the automatic.

I would prefer to be able to just pick a watch up from the winder and know it has the correct time.

Looking at watches such as the IWC Portugieser, they have automatic mechanisms.

So why do even the most recent releases use a manual wind ?

Any knowledge would be gratefully appreciated.

Im going out on a limb here but most of the models repped are manual wind gens? I think up unti recently most asian tourbillon movements were manual wind. Also automatic winding modules add thickness to watches that are mostly thicker than gen anyway so not a great idea. Thats my take on it anyway.

Quick question tourbi guys, does any of you own one of theses Sugess Tourbillon watches?

Watch is a bit weird as the dial is asymmetrical - the center pinion being higher than the dial center...

I see more than a little influence from ALS there! Looks ok to me.
