No, unlike tourbillon, all functional. - Victor Khomenko 13:59:52 11/06/24 (6)
I presume you know where the toubillon came from.

  - Yes... solution to a non-existing problem, expensive fluf, nothing else - Victor Khomenko 15:10:21 11/06/24 (4)
    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.
        
        Kindly show an example -nt - E-Stat 15:24:50 11/06/24 (1)

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