Something with their presentation doesn't add up... First of all there have been very similar looking tourbillon watches available for even less (I've seen them for as low as $600 at times) which are manufactured in China. They've been known for their impressively decorated appearance along with poor reliability. While they claim that the same master watchmakers who make the expensive tourbillons are making these, I noticed that there are no Swiss Made markings visible on the front or back of the watch that I can see. Secondly they claim that several hundreds of hours of these artisan's work is required to assemble one of these watches, yet if that's so then they're only getting a few bucks an hour in order to meet the selling price. So despite their claims I suspect that these are nothing more than a re-marketing of some cheaply made and poor quality tourbillons which have been available at similar or lower pricing for years.
