Zenith El Primero Tourbillon
When Jean-Fr��d��ric Dufour took the reigns at Zenith in 2009, he shifted the brand away from over-the-top styling with a “back to basics” message and an emphasis on product. Speaking with WatchTime’s Norma Buchanan for her profile Inside Guy in the December issue, Dufour said “I will devote all my energy, all my money, to El Primero, to make Zenith different from the others.” True to his word, Zenith launches the El Primero Tourbillon. Zenith emphasizes this new piece it is not simply a tourbillon. Beyond that difficult-to-achieve complication, it is of course a chronograph, with a unique calendar display, in which the signature 36,000 vph frequency is retained, making it the only high-frequency tourbillon on the market today.The dial’s asymmetric aesthetic highlights the tourbillon's mechanism, visible through an opening in the dial, while maintaining the overall proportions and lines.

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should...
There was a thread recently proclaiming the demise of Patek because TAG came out with a cheap turbillion. Well- here you go- a 160k retail tour billion piece selling for 24k. Which means those TAGs likely will go down to a few thousand dollars on the secondary market.forums.timezone/index.php...=0#msg_7281057A Patek is a Patek for a reason.

My new Patek Philippe split seconds chronograph!

For the first event I click the top pusher on the platinum, and for the second event I click the top pusher on the yellow gold. Voila!
