Just received the new FM Tourbillon from a TD. I had been after one of the older models for some time and saw that these have just been released. Dial quality is excellent, numerals seem to be in better proportions compared to the original and print quality is impressive. Blued hands are also very nice. The back is an improved version also with the correct open back opening size with decorated faux bridges similar in design to the original watches, but not the same quality of course.
The Tourbillon seems to be working well, I have run it on 4 positions on the timing machine and variation is about 5-8 seconds, not bad! Interesting to observe on the machine as the Tourbillon rotates and the readings oscillate as the escapement turns 360 degrees. Here we can see the Tourbillon doing its job in averaging this variation in position.
