The watch being reviewed in this blog post from 2013 is a bi-axial tourbillon. At the time, it was retailing for between $75,000 - $85,000.

Nice watch and article. To the best of my understanding, Chinese watch making does not go back too many years prior to 1958. Do you believe that this bi-axial tourbillion was the result of reverse engineering or do you think this factory progressed that quickly? It was an affordable Chinese tourbillion that got me buying watches after years of resisting the urge because I didn't want to spend all of my money.

Did the West obtain the secret to making silk honestly, or did we steal it? We stole it.

That’s very cool. Dynamic mechanical art. Though I see they still make bi-axial tourbillons out of unobtanium regardless of country and manufacturing prowess.
