I posted images of a quartet of tourbillons some weeks ago. The four watches – a Jaeger-LeCoultre Gyrotourbillon 1 in platinum, Richard Mille RM002 Ti, FP Journe Tourbillon Souverain Boutique Edition in titanium and Patek Philippe Ref. 5101 Ten Days Tourb...
Because the 4 Tourbillons are totally different. That's the reason why I I like it. Obviously a G&F Tourbillon would be a wonderful addition... I propose an alternative: what about an Histoire de Tourbillon from Harry Winston (to stay in the Complitime un...
"I find the HW way too big. If I were to get a tourbillon at that price level, I would definitely go for a GF. The Lange doesn't speak to me in terms of design. Mostly I find Lange watches too conservative and boring, except maybe for the Zeitwerk." - SJX...
It is obvious, both Histoire de Tourbillon are bulky: But the Lange 1 Tourbillon, especially in its F.A.Lange version, with the stop Tourbillon has a lot of charm for my taste: It will be interesting to know what will be his next acquisition! Fx...

"You might be right. My knowledge of cars is quite limited. The Porsche is actually my first 'fast' car. Before that I had 'normal' cars, until we had the second kid, then we got the Range Rover. It was sort of an impulse purchase for me. I liked the powe...
that seems to place much premium on what else, quality over quantity. For simpler less extravagent occasions, he has is SD and reverso. My congratulations to a much enlightened collection and owner. Any reason why he won;t consider a central or fusee chai...
"The two fusee tourbillon I have seen are Lange and Breguet, and neither appeals to me. The Haldimann central tourbillon looks interesting but I have never seen one in real life." - SJX
Have never owned one yet myself, but definitely keen to some day to wrap up my collection. I love the JLC in particular, missed out on that one. Continue to enjoy your collecton! Thanks for bringing this to us SJX! Stephen
Thanks SJX for bringing such an awesome collection of tourbillons to us. The collector have great taste of high end watches! I particularly liked the Patek as I love the idea of tourbillons hidden in view.
