Appropriate for a former CEO.
It is a brick... so I got tired of mine and sold it to an Italian count, who drove here from NYC - he was looking for one and could not believe someone in this boondocks would have it. So we did the exchange in a car and we both have been happy.

The name sounds vaguely opioid. - ghost of olddude55 13:14:29 11/06/24 (8)
Like the Italian version of oxycontin.

The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.

    I presume you know where the toubillon came from.

        It was developed for pocket watches, they were kept in the same position.
        
        With wrist watches your arm already does that job, so a tourbillon is nothing but silly embellishment, serving no purpose.
        
        Makes the watch more susceptible to shocks, so you will never see it in work watches.

        ...but I know today you can get simply fantastic watches for peanuts, so I am curious what the least expensive tourbillon is today.
        
        My guess is $200 neighborhood.

        That is my guess having seen what the Chinese are doing - Victor Khomenko 16:10:05 11/06/24 (0)

        My partner started buying inexpensive Chinese watches and they are amazing.
        Here is one that I quickly found.
