Here's a shot about as rare as you'll find any for contemporary watches. The tourbillon on the left belongs to Thomas Gaumann, who's now head of movement research and development at IWC, and was the primary watchmaker on the Siderale team. The watch on the right belongs to this forum's moderator.
And who will get the one in the middle? I suspect it might end up in the IWC Museum, but that's just a guess.
A once in a lifetime shot......Bravo.
I'm drooling Michael - I'd take any of the three any day :-)
Enjoy your days in Schaffhausen!!!
Whoa!
That is some serious hardware.
The Three Graces. Canova would have been proud.
A triptych worthy of any museum. I stand in awe.
...... Speechless.
Agree with all, and maybe more....

Amazing to see these three together in one shot.....
What a fantastic line-up. And thanks for posting this very unique photo MF.
All special watches - but to a layman, someone who does not know anything about watches, but likes them and looks, the one that would attract the most attention and at first glance appear to be the more special of the watches, would not be the centre, or left hand watch. It would be, the Regelateur on the right hand side.
Every time I see MF's tourbillon folks, I chalk it up on the "wannabe" list (...as in I want to own one of those watches)!
Best regards

A collective photo of the cousins of Portuguese tourbillons.
................. I've bit my tongue long enough for this post.
so here I bellow:
"I want them all !!!!"
urgh.
Wow, that's impressive! Thanks for this marvelous combination of masterpieces!
Kind regards,
Clemens
i love the siderale!!!! would be nice and matching to wear to school too haha...but all three are definitely a true work of art and perfection
Shing wants them all, oh well he's got four already at one very 6 weeks or, so by Xmas he should have achieved that with a bit of luck! How about it Shing, is that a can do?
Shing, as a successful businessman, you certainly can! To many (incl. myself), owning one of these is already "a lifetime goal". The latest one, of course, is marvellous. Perfect in terms of design and technical performance. Let me dream of having it tonight!
