Nardin Skeleton Tourbillion vs. Bovet Recital 12
I have always been attracted to movement and open faced manual watches. I almost purchased the unique ML Gravity as I love to look at the movement of the balance wheel. Ultimately just way too thick for my taste. I love the looks of both of these even though I know the price range is wide, I would love feedback on the brands and also the care and feeding of a Tourbillion. I would like to wear either of these at least a couple of times a week. I have had a La Tradition but ultimately the matte finish just took away from the elegance of the watch. Happy to hear any other possible suggestions.
Thanks in advance

The Bovet is not even close to the R. Gauthier ...
I hope Romain Gauthier does not read us because this comparison would certainly break his heart :) The Bovet is not even close, especially regarding the finishing. Ok Gauthiers's work is superlative but the Bovet's finishing is more or less on par with a ...
The Bovet Recital is superb, but suggests music.
Which is strange for a Tourbillon " only ". I would strongly suggest you to see both of them in the flesh. Here are real pictures I could take of the Ulysse Nardin. Best, Nicolas ...
Not a Tourbillon
You can just see the movement of the balance wheel. There is front and rear view of sweep minute hand and a 7 day power reserve. With my loupe the finish of Bovet is actually superlative way above the ML. Bovet only makes 2000 watches per-the recital 12 i...
That will teach me to not look at a watch from my smartphone. ;)
Yes, I find it quite good looking, even from my smartphone, but we would need more accurate pictures. The UN is not my favourite, I much prefer the Royal Blue from the same brand. But nothing can beat a real expeirence. Keep us updated. Nicolas
Imagine how confusing ...
It will be when you will have to look at watches through the tiny screen of you Smart Watch :)
Go for the Ulysse Nardin Skeleton Tourbillon
I have one and it gives me endless joy! The rose gold version is just mesmerising and the seven day power reserve is superb. Enjoy Regards Rene
And the winner is?
Loved tourbillon with silica parts but to me matte looking with minimal decoration even though it was highly skeletonized.. Really impressed by Bovet fit and finish. Truly superlative. Love the 18K red case with lacquer face finish, 170 hour power reserve...
