F.P. Journe 10th Anniversary Tourbillon LE

F.P. Journe 10th Anniversary Tourbillon Limited Edition

Based on their limited-edition Special 30th Anniversary Tourbillon from October 2013, the 2014 F.P. Journe 10th Anniversary Tourbillon celebrates two landmark events in its short biography: the 10th anniversary of their first boutique in Tokyo, Japan and the opening of the tenth F.P. Journe boutique in Beirut, Lebanon. Predictably, the timekeeper's total production was limited to just ten pieces, with only one of them going to each of their shops around the world.

F.P. Journe Special 30th Anniversary Tourbillon

Mostly known for its avant-gardist approach to design, this time the Geneva-based brand decided to take a more classical way. Their F.P.

Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Traditionnelle 14-Day Tourbillon

Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Traditionnelle 14-Day Tourbillon (Ref. 89000/000P-9843)

Offered at almost $380,000 and crafted from expensive Platinum 950 alloy, the 2013 Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Traditionnelle 14-Day Tourbillon (Ref. 89000/000P-9843) with its modest styling and compact size is a quintessence of inconspicuous consumption. With its moderately oversized case and a time-proven, bullet-proof reliable mechanism, it is a trinket for the kind of people who would prefer a vintage Rolls-Royce to a brand new Koenigsegg.

Girard-Perregaux 1966 Tourbillon Gold Bridge Collection

Girard-Perregaux 1966 Tourbillon Gold Bridge Automatic watch

At the Baselworld 2013 trade show, the Swiss watchmaker has re-introduced its Girard-Perregaux 1966 Tourbillon Gold Bridge (refs. 99535-52-131-BKBA & 99535-53-131-BK6A) collection. Not only dressy but also extremely classy with their understated exterior and carefully decorated dials, the watches have always been "signature" models for the brand. Judging by the 2013 collection's specs, this one is more of a mild face-lift, rather than a full-fledged next-generation with a new movement and all.

Hublot Classic Fusion Squelette Tourbillon Pays Homage to Ferrari 250 GTO

Hublot Classic Fusion Squelette Tourbillon Ferrari 250 GTO Limited Edition

The new Hublot Classic Fusion Squelette Tourbillon Ferrari 250 GTO limited edition watch was presented last week on Tuesday at Abbaye de Hautvillers. The "ultra-exclusive" event was restricted to hundred-and-something rich persons that you have probably seen on TV and all sorts of tabloids. Planned to be sold exclusively to 39 owners of the legendary Ferrari 250 GTO vintage sports cars, the new timepiece has a good chance of becoming an instant legend.

Piaget Altiplano Tourbillon Dragon Fob Watch (Ref. G0A36563)

Besides the gorgeous (and unique, too) Polo Tourbillon Relatif Dragon (Ref. G0A36545,) Piaget has also presented another dragon-themed product. Presented in a shape of a so-called "fob watch" (or, more plainly, a "pocket watch" although I highly doubt that the piece is supposed to travel in your pockets,) the hand-wound Piaget Altiplano Tourbillon Dragon (Ref. G0A36563) is equipped with what is claimed to be the world's slimmest tourbillon movement.
