Secon posting, after some research...

I must correct myself, having researched this a bit: Apparently it is Swiss-made, by Olivier Mory in La Chaux-de-Fonds, a very competent fellow who has made an affordable off-the-shelf tourbillon (if you go to Skill Watches, you'll see that tourbillon on a rather fun watch.

I checked how regular (non-horological

At any rate, the whole thing is actually boring, i.e., unimaginative. For around the same price (who's bickering about 25k?) very elegant Chanel J12, or a Glashütte Original PanoLunar, which also has a moon phase and a large date to boot, and will wow your friends and confound your enemies.... Or if you are adventurous, you can check affordable tourbillons, like the Montblanc Star Legacy which is skeletonized to reveal the finely finished movement... Or (a lesser known brand) Pequinet's Tourbillon Royale. I could go on and on (Ulysse Nardin has a Torpilleur out, which is nice, too), because it's my business, I do not get a commission, BTW...

100k for a very unimaginative blingish watch, something for wannabe wiseguys stuck in the 80s, is really a waste of money...

Last thing: I would love if someone could ask that scammer: "What is a tourbillon?"
