Thanks every lady again for letting me share/boast/show off or whatever you want to call it, LOL.
Unfortunately no which is at the same time fortunate because if my husband decided to buy the tourbillon version (which is actually released but not sold yet), I would definitely
him when he comes back tomorrow because the price of La Tradition tourbillon would be seriously prohibitive! It has this new (well old but not even Patek does it) trick called fusee and chain which I think is something to do about regulating tension and stablising the movement rate or something like that. I would love a Breguet tourbillon since he was the guy who invented it but given that a basic Breguet tourbillon is just about $100,000, La Tradition tourbillon with this new trick must be at least $150,000 so I am definitely settling for a normal version!
In any case, I want to kill him enough for forking out for the automatic version which is 40% more expensive than the hand wound and all I get extra is this lousy oscillating weight at the back (and the retrograde second hand over power reserve indicator but I think both are equally good), LOL.
P.S. I think I am talking too much about watches for the past few days and I think I have to stop soon because my head is spinning like the watch hands
!
