How exaggerated is the most expensive watch in the world?

it’s even more expensive than a house.

There is no doubt that they are all – TOURBILLON.

The price of the tourbillon is the most amazing of all watches: 6-figure usd, 7-figure usd…

The tourbillon watch is called “the king of the watch”

In addition to being expensive, it is also known as the “three complex functions” of mechanical watches because of the tourbillon, perpetual calendar, and minute repeater.

CNN says tourbillon is a watch worn by 1 percent of people in the world.

Obviously this expensive tourbillon watch is out of reach for ordinary people.

Traditionally, what you understand as a famous watch and its movement are all made in Switzerland.

This hasn’t changed over the years.

People are still paying hundreds of thousands for a watch – It’s crazy!

Because there is a small group of people in the world, they are monopolies, and they will actively drive up the price of high-end watches.

But paying a premium for a watch… is it really necessary?

Now there is a popular marketing rhetoric in the market, called “cutting out the middleman” or “eliminating the manufacturer to make the difference”, which sounds good, but in fact there are pitfalls.

Why?

Because in reality: Some merchants use the basic model with a bare pendulum Miyota movement to deceive consumers who do not understand mechanical watches, saying that it is a tourbillon! This is very shameful.

Even at a low price, you are not getting a real tourbillon, you are buying a made up story and a cheap watch.

Only when you really understand the manufacturing process of a tourbillon and understand its value, can you know why they are always expensive…

Million Dollar Device

To manufacture tourbillons, professional mechanics use multi-million dollar equipment such as the Willemin 5-Axis.

These machines give form and function to the finest raw materials.

This machine transforms precious metals into cases, bezels, fasteners and dials for tourbillon watches.

Want an ultra-high-end watch? 

Then you need high end watch parts.

However high end watch parts can only come from high end machines.

A tourbillon cannot be built in an imperfect environment.

Each piece is well-crafted. 

The margin of error is only microns.

But these are just watch parts.

Mastering complex functions

A master watchmaker is the only one capable of making a tourbillon.

It is only through years of training, practice and study that they can tackle complications such as minute repeaters, perpetual calendars and tourbillons.

For these elite craftsmen, it’s not just watchmaking，

They treat their craft like heart surgery.

Is this still a simple tourbillon component?

From multi-million dollar equipment, to millimeter-precise watch parts,

From hundreds of hours of manual labor, to the watchmaker’s world-class hands:

The tourbillon is an engineering marvel in a watch,

And… expensive.

But does it really have to be that ridiculously priced?

We believe no watch should be out of our reach.

Within an acceptable budget, it is necessary to ensure a real, reliable and high-end tourbillon.

AGELOCER offers an almost perfect solution : This futuristic high-end real flying tourbillon is crowdfunding at a 3-figure usd price!

Knowing how tourbillons are made, how is it possible to buy them for 3-digit prices?

Is this reliable?

Be skeptical, we’ll answer them one by one.

Different from individual crowdfunding, AGELOCER is a high-end original mechanical watch brand from China.

In the past ten years, it has been insisting on the work of original design and independent research and development of the design movement.

Due to the avant-garde and bold design, the watches we have launched in the past three years have won 17 international design awards, and we are the Chinese mechanical watch brand that has swept the most global design awards.

It is a great honor to let more friends in the world who like mechanical watches know us

We ensure that the quality of the product 100% meets your expectations, and we will bear all the after-sales problems that arise!

In the Chinese watch industry, pioneered the original design of the “extreme hollow” tourbillon.

There were many imitators…

Prior to this, most of the tourbillon designs were classical, complicated and gorgeous carved designs.

We have created a new-age tourbillon that breaks through the fixed impression of the traditional tourbillon and uses modern design language.

Now, we have made a 2.0 upgrade on the original popular version!

In order to better appreciate the exquisite details of the watch, AGELOCER uses anti-scratch and anti-reflective sapphire glass on the watch mirror and bottom cover, while many watch manufacturers just use ordinary glass on the bottom cover to reduce costs. In order to have a better experience, we insist on using the best materials.

With the hollow design of the whole dial, we can see the 360° rotation of the escapement system: the exquisite skills of watchmaking technology are fully demonstrated.

The hollowing process is amazing. This is a way of expressing craftsmanship that takes into account both aesthetics and functions. Excess metal parts are removed, and the beauty of the movement is beautifully displayed from the inside to the outside. Metal parts, skeletonized bridges and a flying tourbillon form a metal building on your wrist. The ultimate hollowing process that has not appeared in traditional watches.

It is the result of a lot of analysis and testing invested by professional watchmakers to achieve a balance between the beauty of carving and the guarantee of functional operation.

Many tourbillons with a price of 6-figure usd have only about 40 hours of kinetic energy, while the AGELOCER tourbillon uses advanced double-spring linkage technology to achieve an amazing 80-hour power reserve, and the kinetic energy reserve is 50% higher!

The energy of the watch spring with long kinetic energy releases more slowly and evenly, which improves the stability and accuracy of the watch’s travel time. The vibration frequency of this tourbillon movement is 28,800 vibrations per time (4HZ), and the daily error of travel time is controlled within ±15 seconds.

This time we used the same high-tech ceramic ring as the million dollar watch on the tourbillon.

The processing of ceramics is more difficult than ordinary metals, and the processing cost is more expensive, so the reason why ceramics cannot become the mainstream material of watch cases. The weight of stainless steel is twice as heavy as that of ceramic, which can reduce the burden on the wrist. It is abrasion resistant, highly scratch resistant, highly biochemically inert, hypoallergenic, environmentally friendly and non-magnetic.

In addition to the power of the movement, we consider the practicality of night use.

The hands and scales of the watch are made of Swiss Super-LumiNova® super luminous paint. The glow effect can be repeated infinitely by SLN, and there is no time limit.

We use 316L stainless steel, using delicate metal wire drawing and polishing process, revealing a luxurious beauty.

Stainless steel is undoubtedly the most common watchmaking material, which has the advantages of beauty and hardness. Known for its resistance to corrosion and high gloss when polished, this material is often ideal for watches used in high-intensity environments such as diving and exploration.

Aerospace industry polymer watch strap.

This is a comfortable strap for more sports or outdoor scenes, a lightweight, comfortable and waterproof strap.

In addition to sports scenes, you may also attend banquets and business meetings. In this way, the comfort and compatibility of the watch can be greatly improved.

With such amazing quality and cost-effective watches, this is because 80% of the world’s movements are produced in China. We have a strong production line and supply chain, which is why we can make the price reasonable.

We encourage every customer who purchases an AGELOCER watch to upload the received product pictures and experience on social media.

In the last project, our designers launched Volcano Series Mechanical Watch on kickstarter based on the idea of volcanic eruption and it was successful, and received a lot of good feedback.

If you agree…then please support our watches and support our kickstarter.
