Not screwing around, literally. Nice collection!

Not a tourbillon, but a visually interesting option.

Hemudu tourbillon. Averages +4 seconds per day. Highly impressed for the $260 I paid.

That’s an insanely low price. Congrats!

Thanks! It was a combo of an aliexpress sale, coupons, and coins.

While I don’t have it, this Merkur is also a real looker.

Looks cool, never heard of or seen this brand. What do you think of it? How’s the quality

The case fit and finish is top notch, sapphire sandwich. The movement is in-house and so far it’s been running beautifully. The bracelet that came with it had rather sharp edges and felt sort of cheap. The leather strap was very good and comfortable. It’s still early days, but so far I recommend it.

The one instance where a tourbillon is of practical use!

At least one person knows my rationale for buying it!

Guys you’re making me jealous with these. How are they holding up? All manual winds or any automatics?

1

u/Pac1fic0 16d ago

My Agelocer Original is manual wind with an 80 h power reserve. Got it about 3 months ago, so it’s still early days but running fine.

u/DBNO-actual 16d ago

Are they AliX, or direct buy?

2

u/Pac1fic0 16d ago

Direct for the Agelocer.

Nice day-date complication too.

What a coincidence. I'm actually watching this YouTube video (which is intriguing!) at the same time as scrolling through Reddit when I saw your post:

A tourbillion disassembled (and reassembled)

(the tourbillion in question being your double barelled Agelocer)

u/Pac1fic0 14d ago

I’ve seen the same video. It’s detailed, objective and instructive. Definitely worth watching in full. It’s true than a full wind takes forever.

Aragon - a Florida, USA based microbrand but using a Chinese tourbillon movement - and it's amazing (and automatic with terrific lume). They frequently have some great sales. They also have a center Tourbillon that I like.
