I doubt so, even the chinese tourbillon movement finish isn't as top notch as the swiss, if the finish in chinese tourbillon movement is on par with the swiss, I'm pretty sure the market price of swiss tourbillon will decrese significantly

I mean look at how complicated and intricate that movement is. No way China'd be able to replicate such a complex movement, well maybe they could, but it would be very inaccurate.

No. Not because they can't, because there is no money in repping this watch. It's ugly and nobody would ever buy it.

I've looked the video. The watch is wonderful.
The problem is that the Chinese are currently not able to reproduce. Even if they could it would be easy to spot as rep due to the price of 1 mio USD

Holy crap. This is a thing of beauty!

Never gonna see a rep. Agree with idinwo01 and tomwid12.
There would be very little demand. Not worth the hassle!

About the fact that that Chinese can’t replicate it, why? This is so complicated to manufacture it?

About the fact that there is no demand, that is maybe true, but I’m wondering if there are custom watch replactors that could do it? (it would probably cost more than a usual rep but…)
