JLC Master Tourbillon in Steel  0 Comments

Published Sunday, November 05, 2006 by Harry SK Tan |

 


The much awaited Master Tourbillon has finally arrived. The announcement of this watch caused a strong stir in the watch manufacturing community as it is the first of the top brands to produce the tourbillon in Steel to price it very much lower than the other brands - including some of its own pieces in precious metals. Many had wondered - with the published pricing and the design - that the tourbillon in this model will be a poor cousin to the high horological pieces respected by all serious collectors. For this reason, many had been eagerly waiting to see how the final product will turn out.
Fortunately for me, on Friday 3rd November, Mr Ng Teng Jaw met me at the Hour Glass Millennia Singapore with his Master Tourbillon on his wrist. He offered to let me photograph his watch and I gladly agreed. Personally, I was very pleasantly surprised at the watch as it is wonderfully finished and the overall balance is quite well done. The details were not found wanting and the aesthetics on both the dial and movement side are both great. Rather than use words to describe the details further, have a look at my photographs and consider yourself whether this timepiece is worthy to be seen as a high horological timepiece.
