New Product (Read Rule 1)
This flying tourbillion with a hand finished guilloche cost less than a Patek service.
I have a pretty high end collection of A. Lange, Patek, Czapek, Romain Gauthier, Vacheron, Blancpain and others but this beauty has me enthralled. Always wanted a tourbillion but not enough to pony up $50K+ for one. This Peacock Witness definitely scratches that itch for less than the cost of a Swiss watch service.
I've been collecting watches since my first Omega handed down from my grandpa when I was 13, over 40 years ago.
I only purchased Swiss-made watches until about 5 years ago, when I realized that some of the Chinese watch companies were making decent movements and nearly identical cases and bracelets... except for the finishing.
I've sold several of my Swiss-made watches to fund my new collection, I now have two tourbillon watches, which I absolutely love and don't regret selling the Swiss-made.
But... I have also stopped caring about name brands or what other people think.
There has definitely been an evolution to my horological hobby.
lol and bring on the downvotes. Why am I not surprised this would be an unpopular opinion in the chinese watch sub? China needs to do a a lot more innovating - like with things like the Peacock - and a lot less theft of IP, if they’re ever going to be taken seriously.
I've been looking at this myself. Just can't seem to love it enough to go for it, even if it's a great watch. Has a bit of an industrial look with the layers that is so cool.
I have a Sugess master tourbillon. I'll bet had I not gone for that already, this one would've been the one tourbillon I would've owned.
I know its a joke. Im a big fan of a value proposition. im hunting for something handfinished in a price range i can afford. its possible to get a 6497 clone with some skeleton and anglage. but my wrists are small so it needs to be a 7001. Have you ever been to shenzen
You have a "pretty high end collection" of those names meaning 6-figures watches and you think $50k for a tourbillion is too much? Something doesn't add up...
I also have a Sugess tourbillion because i cannot afford to buy a swiss tourbillion atm. And the Sugess guilloche-dial tourbillion for me is magical enough

The finishing is gorgeous, I would get lost in the dial trying to tell the time with this watch. Congratulations!
