Three very simplistic reasons.Dedalus wrote:Just out of curiosity Todd, why the desire to release a tourbillon
1), I want to wear one myself.
2), To distance Aegir from some of the current offerings, not be be confused with contract cases etc, and being construed as expensive next to them.
It would change the conception of the brand, to those who might think the above.
3) To hopefully offer something out of reach, at a price that is still out of reach to many, but in the ballpark for many others that before could not stretch that far. I do not have the exact costs yet, but imagine that it can be done cheaper than it is now.
I have a ball park cost figure, and while expensive to make, I will forgo the gold rotors and hand engraving etc, and put it in a stainless case.
Other than that, no reason at all, but I want a Tourbillon myself and I do not even know why!
Does anyone know what the cheapest Tourbillon on the market is, except the Chinese ones of course?
