Feature: Did you know these affordable brands make tourbillon watches too?
The tourbillon is a watch complication that is certainly, well … complicated—hence why luxury watches featuring one usually cost an arm and a leg. Although, due to its growing popularity, some more affordable watchmakers have started to dip their toe into the tourbillon pool. So, let’s take a look at three affordable brands’ tourbillon watches, and see if they are still affordable after all…
TAG Carrera CAR5A90.FC6415
Flaunting a new spin on the classic Formula 1 inspired favourite—the Carrera—TAG Heuer threw a tourbillon into the mix to create this striking timepiece. With a skeletonised dial and monochrome colourway, this TAG Heuer watch makes for a sporty watch with the ultra-cool tourbillon sitting at 6 o’clock. Surprisingly, this number isn’t too pricey considering the complexity of it, coming in at just under £10k pre-owned.
Breitling B12 Chronograph Tourbillon 42 Bentley
This extravagant piece certainly sits within the upper echelon of Breitling’s catalogue, costing just under £40k RRP. Paying homage to the brand’s relationship with the much-loved carmaker Bentley, this is a rare Breitling watch with just 25 pieces in the collection. Its rich, deep green dial complements the gold Arabic markers and case—and, of course, the tourbillon sits proud at 12 o’clock, giving a luxury appeal to this unique Breitling.
Bell and Ross BR-X2 Tourbillon Micro Rotor
Bell and Ross is a watchmaker well known for its rugged timepieces that are more than capable of withstanding a knock or two. Generally speaking it is an affordable watchmaker but take a look at this BR-X2 Tourbillon and you’ll notice an anomaly. Reaching almost £50k RRP, this is a special watch, limited to just 99 pieces. Featuring a skeletonised dial, the tourbillon at 6 o’clock fits comfortably within this futuristic looking timepiece.
