Watches with tourbillionsâa feature in fine mechanical watches that compensates for the effect of gravityâare becoming common place among high-end watch brands. Close to 100 offered new models at this yearâs BaselWorld 2005 as did most brands at SIHH (Salon international de la Haute Horologerie), the luxury watch fair in Geneva, whose Swiss exhibitors account for much of the luxury watch business.
However, not all tourbillions are Swiss, or even European, anymore. China has now also entered the tourbillion market.
Ocean Voice Time-Tech of Hong Kong showed JCK, on request, a tourbillion watch it is selling as a private label product to watchmakers and suppliers, who put their own name on it. The tourbillion, which Ocean Voice sells for to its clients for under $3,000, was two years in development, a spokesperson told JCK.
It is designed by Ocean Time and produced according to its technical specifications in China. Three days into the eight-day BaselWorld fair, Ocean Voice already had orders from at least 10 foreign clients, who ordered 10 to 20 each of the new tourbillion.
It has been rumored in recent years that some parts used in some European watchesâ tourbillions might be Chinese-made, but this seems to be the first complete tourbillion made in China for sale in the watch industry.

trying to buy a watch ?
Sayid Forg
i'm trying to buy a watch around 800 - 900 US $
i'm 17 by now and wanted to know what is the cheapest Chopard Model and is it good to buy a low price but a Big Brand or the best model of the low Brand ??
Answer
I have a couple from each instance you are bringing up. On one hand I have a Rolex DateJust and an Omega Seamaster, and on the other, a decent higher end Tremalt. My advice would be not to be terribly caught up on the name brand... because the name brand is essentially what you are paying for. If there is, however, a function that you cannot live without or a specific model that you are craving (which it doesn't sound like is the case), then do your research, however, new models will only be sold in the stores, although there are a few reputable used watch sellers on ebay with thousands of feedback scores (make sure they are all from watches, not fluffed with action figure sales or something!!).
FYI, to answer your question literally, the Chopard happy sport models are the cheapest.
Also, if you plan to spend that cash, please make sure you are buying a timepiece, rather than a nice bracelet with a clock in it. Look for a chronometer, aka mechanical or self-winding movement. This will give and allow it to maintain it's value, although admittently not as accurate and requires service. Movado, Tag Heuer, and yes.. Chopard are indeed some of the culprits who don't necessarily specialize in timepieces, but rather, timekeeping jewelry.
Check out the Omega Constellation line... Oris and Longines are pretty good for the money too, as they don't sell for their retail often. Keep in mind... if you are getting a Cartier or Rolex, you still are not getting the dream of a swiss watchmaker laboring hours over your watch individually... they are mass produced. THe lesser known true luxury watches such as Patek Philippe, Audemars, and Vacherons are more along that line. So, please get something that's worth keeping, but don't do it "just to have one". Most will concur that a 12 dollar Casio will keep better time :)
