Zelos made some Tourbillons for $11,900 and they sold out in a day.

I like the one linked. 60d with free returns make it interesting.

It's interesting in a desk-top ornament kind of way, but I don't find it attractive as something to wear on my wrist.

Excellent, a Christopher Ward that hasn't got his name on the front :thumbsup:
Now then Christopher, if you can just pop a nice plain dial in it :grin:
It does look nice although way too busy for me and obviously a dial would defeat the object.

I can’t even read the time on it. It’s busy. I just cant do skeleton dials for the most part.

I'm with you. I guess I understand the appeal of seeing the movement intricacies, but I still want to be able to use my watch to tell time.

I'm also not big on skeleton, although I have thought about getting the Zenith Defy Ti a few times.

If I were designing that watch I’d have done things differently….

If going with that exact model/color I’d have heat-blued the handset, so it would be more easily picked up against the grey steel movement. That, if done right, could have been also used to tie the hands to the bezel.

Another option would be to use brushed or polished hands, but against a black DLC coated movement.
