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.
After doing some reading after watching this I agree.
