Teddy...not gonna lie dude, the cinematic production quality in this video was unbelievable. Absolutely beautifully done! Now....I’m not a guy who needs a lesson on tourbillons, but it was still very enjoyable to relearn haha I love them, they’re pure art and class. Even if they are basically useless.
H. Moser makes some of the most beautiful watches out there and their CEO is very engaged with the owners. It is very refreshing. Great company and great low production, completely in-house watches.
"Useless but lots of fun" accurately describes both tourbillons and me when I was in my 20s. I stumbled across some Chinese watches with tourbillons recently for just under $500. Of course, the rest of the watch looks like it came out of a gumball machine, but if you just HAVE to have a tourbillon without taking on studen loan-sized debt...
Owning one of the watches you are talking about i can assure you the rest of the watch looks amazing. You need to understand the companies that make movements and the companies that assemble the watch with their own case are different entities. With enough searching you can find a company that added a very tasteful dial and case to the tourbillon movement. My own looks almost the same as the one in this video. It has a plan stainless steel case accompanied by a plain blue with slight purple fade sunburst dial with a tourbillon cutout and nothing else. Very tasteful and very well made, accurate and durable. The anti-chinese made product prejudice should die already.
@@argatar Y'know, that's a good point. The watches I was referring to looked bad, but I didn't see them in person, and I'm sure we've all had experience with the difference between looking at something on a screen vs how it looks on your wrist (I have a Seiko "Save the Ocean" that looks nice online but is so beautiful in front of me that it makes my heartrate increase.) I'm not going to pretend the photos I saw looked nice (they didn't) but if you contend they look better in person, I believe you. I also apologize if my comment came off as anti-Chinese. My intention was to focus on the cheapness of the product, but mentioning that they were from China wasn't supposed to be part of that. I was just trying to point out where I'd seen them for sale, but I should have left that part out.
Tourbillons such as the Gyrotourbillon from JLC, the 90 degree tourbillon from FP. Journe, or the 30 degree tourbillon from Greubel Forsey are a few examples of innovations that allow the tourbillon to have an actual practical purpose even in a wristwatch :)
I got offiicial reply from JLC that only for their tourbillon models JLC guarantees accuracy of -2/+2 seconds per day on average. For their other models they guarantee -4/+6 seconds per day. Therefore, I guess tourbillon complication surely matters for accuracy. On the other hand, Rolex also guarantees -2/+2 s/d for most of their non-tourbillon models, but for sure what some Rolex owners tell me, that accuracy is not kept over the years, and it slips outside of the proclaimed range. JLC now guarantees all their accuracy ranges for 7 years.
I got my hands on a couple Tag Tourbillons in Las Vegas and NY and from being mostly machine made I was incredibly impressed with them especially given the price point in the grey market.
Beautiful video, a wonderful example of the complication in question. For the money, I just wouldn't go with a tourbillon, they are interesting to look at, but I found that even having an "open heart" dial wasn't for me - to busy looking on the wrist. I imagine a tourbillon would be even worse. A chronograph is about as far down as I can get into busy dials and still be comfortable wearing the piece, and not feel like I'm saying "look at me!" "look at me!" That being said - the tourbillon is a marvelous piece of engineering, and I would like to get my hands on one and just stare at it for a few hours. Thanks for the great video!
Teddy, you really have improved and now hoped the game on the production quality, especially the macro shots. The beginning reminded me distantly of a Guy Ritchie movie. Great work!
Thank you for another informative video! I think you should have titled it “Everything You Wanted to Know About Tourbillons But Were Afraid to Ask a Watch Snob”.
The H Moser Tourbillon is a modern day Stradivarius. Technical prowess yet its elegant simplicity is a pure joy to behold. Ed Meylan doesn’t take the difficult path to flaunt, but does so because every generation that masters ones path must learn and evolve his own journey to a place where no one has gone. Once you get there; it can be a very special place. Ed’s master class with their Tourbillon is moving the watch industry forward while respecting those that came before him and has done so at the very highest levels of horology that few get to experience. Cheers to the Independents that have risked everything and pave their journey forward.
Tourbillions are very cool. I think it looks very cool in this H. Moser. However, I watched this video mainly because you had an H Moser! If I'm spending 5 figures, it's for an H Moser. The most beautiful watches in the world, in my opinion...
Great video as usual. Ridiculously fascinating to watch this piece of mechanical wonder in that little hole at six o'clock, and a great looking watch overall. A brand with a great horological history. As someone said here, a useless but never the less very beautiful complication. Then again, if someone gave me the amount of money this watch costs and told me I had to buy something for that whole sum, I'd buy one of my dream vintage cars instead.
I’d never judge what others should buy or not buy, or what manufacturers should make or not make. I can only speak for myself. But it’s not for me. I can get excellent timekeeping, quality and accuracy from hundreds of fantastic mechanical watches that don’t have a tourbillon. It absolutely is an amazing piece of technology and innovation and a wonderful demonstration of the art of horology. It also is an expensive solution in search of a problem. Terrific video!
Another quality video, thanks Teddy! I own, oddly enough a Jord wooden watch with a tourbillon complication. Thanks for educating me on what it is and why they came about. Always appreciate your point of view on all things watches. Keep it up!
Somewhat tempted to get a Sea-Gull tourbillon, especially one with a plain dial, since as you mentioned in your video, they do come at a fraction of the price, even though it's still more than $1000. The tourbillon is such a pinnacle piece of engineering, it's hard to swallow never owning one if you love watches.
On a different note, thank you for making me aware of the Tissot Gentleman 40mm. My first Tissot also. I bought the quartz version, thin like a JLC Master control 1000, all the charm of the auto model, and a more discrete date. The black version has a charcoil sunburst effect and matching color date wheel. Keep up your charming approach and energy!
Amazing video quality, thank you for sharing your extensive and interesting knowledge about watchmaking and the quality and time that goes into this extraordinary skill, I’m a big fan! Thank you for all your hard work! 😁👍🏼
Great video. Strange thing, two days ago I tried to understand how a tourbillon works, I made it but I was not able to get a good video showing how actually appears. Great!
I am glad you just mentioned H Moser's advertising approach or... 'personality'. Have seriously considering a new piece that will likely be a JLC Master Ultra Thin Moon, A. Lange Saxonia or a Moser Venture. The way you describe the Moser attitude is very appealing to me may very well push my next purchase in their direction. Thank you.
I think the tourbillon is great! I am biased as the first luxury watch I purchased was a tourbillon that I still own (not super high end as it cost $1,200). The tourbillon may be one of the most important complications out there in the world of watches. As has been mentioned by many watch enthusiasts and experts, watches are works of art. By maintaining that aspect of our watch culture we not only preserve watch making and introduce new comers to this passion, we also make it as viable and long lasting as other art forms. Art will survive as long as the human race. Complications like the tourbillon therefore fortify watches to the test of time, being valued ... indefinitely.
Hi, I understand back in the day the pocket watch sits at the same position 24/7 so it may either run slow or fast. Why couldn't they just regulate it instead of installing an expensive tourbillon? Btw, really nice intro Teddy!
I keep watching video after video trying to understand how a tourbillon works. All of you watch guys talk so quickly and assume we understand. For us newbies, how about starting with what happens at the winding? Which gear gets turned first and then what happens after that? I like how you used an animated chart. It would be great if you slowed down and made an entire video on how a mechanical watch movement works.
Imagine a pendulum of an old analog clock. It works fine. Now imagine leaning it a bit 10, 20 45º will it work? no. Because gravity will take its toll on the pendulum. That is how the tourbillon works. they rotate it 360º hoping that it will work "statistically" provided that your hand rests in any position for more than a min it takes to run that 360º circle :)
Larry Leyba well in this context a “mechanical movement “ is also useless ,as you have other ways of keeping more accurate time (quartz movements, smart watches)
You should tell us more about a tourbillion accuracy in time keeping! Eg how is it keeping to Rolex chronometer timing of +2 or -2 secs per day etc. Why should one pay a astronomer price if its time accuracy falls short of that Rolex or Omega co-axial metas standard?
I have a nice mechanical watch collection acquired over my years of going through life. Each watch has a memory of why and how it was purchased. But for the last 7 or 8 years, I have worn my apple watch pretty much exclusively. Whether going to the gym or a black tie event…it’s an Apple Watch on my wrist. I think a lot of us need to go through certain phases in life. Whether it be collecting watches, wine or Pokémon cards. I think I’ve done most of everything and now am finally at a point in life where I’d rather be comfortable in everything I do. I realized, for me anyway, that clothes, watches, cars etc doesn’t make the man. It’s the man that makes the man. I show up wherever I go, neat and tidy of course, basically in jeans, t-shirt and am just absolutely fine. Even ‘black tie’ events, the more expensive charity events, I don’t wear a tux anymore. At best, a neat sport coat. I noticed nothing has changed with how people receive me. They know who I am and am fully accepted and appreciated. Have enjoyment in everything you choose to do. Life is too short to worry about what others think about you.
There is no way that could afford the Tourbilon Tax, but I would love to own one. 12:16 I disagree with you to some extent. My useful watch is my Timex easy reader with its accuracy (around +/- a second or two per day, as one would expect from a well designed quartz oscillator). In these dire times, when I wash my hands, my easy reader makes it easy (pun intended?) to scrub my paws for at least the regulation 20 seconds just to mention one practical application. Then again, I'm old and analogue tends to be easier for me than digital. I'm a retired engineer and to my mind the Tourbilon's complication is a marvel of mechanical engineering I could stare at it for hours. It's just freaking cool. The investment that I gain from the watches that I own is not monetary, but rather the pay off is the pleasure I receive from owning them.
Love Tourbillon watches. So freaking cool, in a steam punk-esque sort of way. I'm with you, though. Even if I had huge amounts of discretionary cash lying around, I would be hard pressed to feel right about actually buying one. One watch I've been eyeing, though, is the Raymond Weil Freelancer RW1212 with visible balance wheel suspended "Tourbillon style" at 6 o'clock. Not a true Tourbillon, but still looks pretty darn cool and is reasonably affordable. Would love to see you do a review of one of those.
Sir, your videos are beautiful, and your lighting is excellent. What camera are you using? As for my comments on the tourbillon: the art of watch making is in complication. If people are looking to efficiency as a grade point, then they should have found their greatest time piece in a quartz digital.
Teddy, interesting video. I never saw how the tourbillion works. it's kind of interesting but I can't afford one. I would not mind borrowing one for fun. It's not worth the price to me. It is impressive technology, don't get me wrong, but it comes at a steep price. Thanks for sharing the inner workings of one.
Hey man these macro shots are truly marvelous! What camera and what lens did you use to shoot these? And question number 2: Is the Ball NM2030D a good watch you can recommend or eventually review? Thank you in advance!
Love Tourbillons but still need to get one for myself! Moser is definitely getting some more attention lately it seems. Love the vantablack watch they have and this Tourbillon!
Great vid- turbillon looks spectacular and is an amazing feat but it’s kind of redundant regarding its usefulness or uselessness. The dial on watch is quite unique, love it but couldn’t spend the extra cash on a turbillon! Love the channel! ✌🏼
Hey Teddy; Another entertaining and enlightening review vid. I like your channel a little more each and every time I tune in to see your latest offering. Best wishes from a big fan of your knowledge and pleasant delivery. Like #1058...
Beautiful watch. I'm surprised of the power reserve. 1st thing I thought of after your explanation of how it works is that the power reserve will suffer. Does it use more power than a day or date complication? Just curious. Thanks for the video. Really enjoyed it.
The beautiful finishing combined with flawless macro cinematography sometimes leads to the odd sensation that you might be looking at CGI renders. As "problems" go, it's a good one to have.
I never understood the fascination with tourbillons. Unless we’re talking about the gyro from JLC. I’d much rather choose a fuse and chain for the sheer beauty of it.
The tourbillon complication is just fun. There is no tourbillon in any dream watch i want. I am more a perpetual calendar wisher. Moser have a clever perpetual calendar in their collection. Back on subject, tourbillons have a design function and a watch brand communicate status with tourbillons of being the best in business. About the Moser Pioneer tourbillon, i like the way Moser keep the watch clean and avoid to much guilloching. I agree Moser goes it’s own way in Haute Horlogerie. They are original watchmakers, not following everybody.
Would love to hear your take on the amazing tourbillion put out by FP Journe that rotates about the horizontal axis vs. this one that rotates about the vertical axis?
It's a definite must have if I had the funds of someone like Elon musk, but that said, the Time to design, and produce this watch , shows in the quality of its looks and design. I love the blue and simple leather strap. I am waiting for my Orient Bambino Gen 4 with the Blue face and will settle on a watch I can afford. Great explanation on this watch and love that your sharing your knowledge
This was a great description of the tourbillon. "Spectacular but useless" sums it up. It would be interesting to hear from owners of such watches as to whether they wear them often and enjoy them. If they put the watches in a vault hoping to sell them in 20 years, I'd like to hear that, too.
All wrist watches are useless with cell phone and tablet in everyone's hand open and working with atomic time. Watches are mostly just for fashion. What I do like with wrist watch is the fast reading of time
because of technology, mobile phones telling the time, because of digital and quartz. every mechanical movement of a watch are follies. We don't need them anymore as functional things. But the more we don't need them, the more we want them, precisely because they are so beautiful, and symbolic, and ingenious. And the tourbillon is the personification of that.
I think perhaps down the road. I personally have some other brands like JLC and Vacheron on my list before jumping more into the independent types like Moser or Journe. I definitely respect the brand greatly though. They make a fantastic product.
This is indeed a beautiful watch. It would be stunning without the tourbillon movement. But the tourbillon is icing on the cake and it is out of my league to say the least.
Teddy...not gonna lie dude, the cinematic production quality in this video was unbelievable. Absolutely beautifully done! Now....I’m not a guy who needs a lesson on tourbillons, but it was still very enjoyable to relearn haha I love them, they’re pure art and class. Even if they are basically useless.

jogu123 yeahhhh
As a newbie who just got his first few swiss watches, I am always learning so much from your videos like this one
H. Moser's designs are at the top of my favorites. Beautiful. Someday I'll own one.

What about the triple axis tourbillon by Tomas pricher,,,not sure if I spelled surname correctly
This watch is gorgeous! I like the chunky indices and hands. Very retro looking.
Those shots of the watch are so clean it looks amazing.
Stunning! I shudder at the thought of servicing it though!
Beautiful watch, a pice of art, excellent review and good information about tourbillons! Nice video and keep the good work my friend!
Thank you Francisco! 🙌🏻
Phillipe Dufour succinctly put it, “with wrist watch, you are the tourbillon”
That was magical Teddy. And probably the best videography you guys have done yet
Awesome vid Teddy! I absolutely LOVE tourbillons but mostly for their aesthetic pleasure :)
I got my hands on a couple Tag Tourbillons in Las Vegas and NY and from being mostly machine made I was incredibly impressed with them especially given the price point in the grey market.
Production value on point grampa 💙

Very well-done, informative video. Tourbillons are sure mesmerizing to look at & are certainly technological marvels!
Great content. “Turbs” have grown on me over the past 25 years. Nice video mate.
Amazing shoots as always!
Thank you my friend! 🙌🏻
Teddy Baldassarre ...what camera are you using?
On a different note, thank you for making me aware of the Tissot Gentleman 40mm. My first Tissot also. I bought the quartz version, thin like a JLC Master control 1000, all the charm of the auto model, and a more discrete date. The black version has a charcoil sunburst effect and matching color date wheel. Keep up your charming approach and energy!
Amazing video quality, thank you for sharing your extensive and interesting knowledge about watchmaking and the quality and time that goes into this extraordinary skill, I’m a big fan! Thank you for all your hard work! 😁👍🏼
Great video. Strange thing, two days ago I tried to understand how a tourbillon works, I made it but I was not able to get a good video showing how actually appears. Great!
I grew up near and always visited and hung out at Squire's Castle. Awesome.
I am glad you just mentioned H Moser's advertising approach or... 'personality'. Have seriously considering a new piece that will likely be a JLC Master Ultra Thin Moon, A. Lange Saxonia or a Moser Venture. The way you describe the Moser attitude is very appealing to me may very well push my next purchase in their direction. Thank you.

That dial is spectacular! it's everything the Nautilus 5711 dial wishes it was
Excellent explanation! Thanks so much Teddy!
Love the shot at Squires Castle. Keep repping The Land Teddy!
Haha good eye! A bit of a cliche if you are from the Cleveland area, but very cool. Thanks for watching, my friend!
Early congratulations on 200k subscribers :)
Amazing Video, teddy, best regards and admiration from Brazil.
Thank you Pedro! All the best from the states! Stay safe!

That is gorgeous, I do think that a turbillon is eye candy. Strictly bling. A useless, beautiful complication.
Larry Leyba well in this context a “mechanical movement “ is also useless ,as you have other ways of keeping more accurate time (quartz movements, smart watches)
@@AdamSmith-ps1ws however, a mechanical watch will outlive a quartz watch with a little effort.
To be honest it is more useful than most complications on a watch now, with everyone having a smartphone in their pocket.
Thanks for All the information things are not useless…And an amazing’ tried on a couple Of watches with them... could not stop staring at them...
You should tell us more about a tourbillion accuracy in time keeping!
Eg how is it keeping to Rolex chronometer timing of +2 or -2 secs per day etc.
Why should one pay a astronomer price if its time accuracy falls short of that Rolex or Omega co-axial metas standard?
Your editing is insane! Keep it up man!

Hi Teddy, did the eBay giveaway ever happen? I followed the Instagram closely and never saw it
Tourbillons that aren't exposed are my favourite kind. Check out the Patek ref 3939, a min rep tourbillon that looks like a timex. Absolute grail.
Love Tourbillon watches. So freaking cool, in a steam punk-esque sort of way. I'm with you, though.

this new format is pretty damn good teddy! love it!
Teddy do you have any reviews on the Zeroo Watch Tourbillion. It's at a smaller price point.
Love Tourbillons but still need to get one for myself! Moser is definitely getting some more attention lately it seems. Love the vantablack watch they have and this Tourbillon!
Great vid- turbillon looks spectacular and is an amazing feat but it’s kind of redundant regarding its usefulness or uselessness. The dial on watch is quite unique, love it but couldn’t spend the extra cash on a turbillon! Love the channel! ✌🏼
Hey Teddy; Another entertaining and enlightening review vid. I like your channel a little more each and every time I tune in to see your latest offering. Best wishes from a big fan of your knowledge and pleasant delivery. Like #1058...
It's a useless but a phenomenal and complicated mechanical device it shows an amazing work of a watchmaker can do
Thanks for the great video. I would love to see a watch with a mini gyroscope. Now that would be great.
Lovely looking watch
This video now makes me want a watch with one of these.
Beautiful watch. I'm surprised of the power reserve. 1st thing I thought of after your explanation of how it works is that the power reserve will suffer. Does it use more power than a day or date complication? Just curious. Thanks for the video. Really enjoyed it.
This watch looks gorgeous
The beautiful finishing combined with flawless macro cinematography sometimes leads to the odd sensation that you might be looking at CGI renders. As "problems" go, it's a good one to have.
Thank you for the high praise on the shooting! This watch certainly made our job easier.
I would like to know what is the next step up from the Sinn 104 and the Oris Aquis?
Very dope visuals
New subscriber here. Love the shots at 0:40!
Tourbillions are like pieces of art. They don't improve us in a practical manner. But it's better to have them than to go without.
I never understood the fascination with tourbillons. Unless we’re talking about the gyro from JLC. I’d much rather choose a fuse and chain for the sheer beauty of it.
Was that squires castle u were stand behind?
Watch looks awesome. I want one. The tourbillon is way cool.
More Moser,s, please!!!:)
Teddy please make a new budget watch collection video.......
The tourbillon complication is just fun. There is no tourbillon in any dream watch i want. I am more a perpetual calendar wisher. Moser have a clever perpetual calendar in their collection. Back on subject, tourbillons have a design function and a watch brand communicate status with tourbillons of being the best in business.
About the Moser Pioneer tourbillon, i like the way Moser keep the watch clean and avoid to much guilloching.
I agree Moser goes it’s own way in Haute Horlogerie. They are original watchmakers, not following everybody.
Would love to hear your take on the amazing tourbillion put out by FP Journe that rotates about the horizontal axis vs. this one that rotates about the vertical axis?
What’s your opinion on the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean in the 39.5mm case size?
It's a definite must have if I had the funds of someone like Elon musk, but that said, the Time to design, and produce this watch , shows in the quality of its looks and design. I love the blue and simple leather strap.
I am waiting for my Orient Bambino Gen 4 with the Blue face and will settle on a watch I can afford.
Great explanation on this watch and love that your sharing your knowledge
This was a great description of the tourbillon. "Spectacular but useless" sums it up. It would be interesting to hear from owners of such watches as to whether they wear them often and enjoy them. If they put the watches in a vault hoping to sell them in 20 years, I'd like to hear that, too.
All wrist watches are useless with cell phone and tablet in everyone's hand open and working with atomic time. Watches are mostly just for fashion. What I do like with wrist watch is the fast reading of time
because of technology, mobile phones telling the time, because of digital and quartz. every mechanical movement of a watch are follies. We don't need them anymore as functional things. But the more we don't need them, the more we want them, precisely because they are so beautiful, and symbolic, and ingenious. And the tourbillon is the personification of that.
Well said 👍🏻
Teddy: you seem to have nothing but praise for Moser: will you every get one and which one?
I think perhaps down the road. I personally have some other brands like JLC and Vacheron on my list before jumping more into the independent types like Moser or Journe. I definitely respect the brand greatly though. They make a fantastic product.
Quick question: Gold Presidential 36 or White dial Sky Dweller? I don’t own a GMT nor a DJ style watch. Both around the same price point. Thanks! (:
I was already interested in collecting knives and lighters, now I have another financial chasm to enjoy :)
I always feel cold when watching this lad wearing outdoors winter outfit indoors.
This is indeed a beautiful watch. It would be stunning without the tourbillon movement. But the tourbillon is icing on the cake and it is out of my league to say the least.
Teddy please review HORAGE Tourbillon 1
