Comparing SeaGull to Hublot is a bit insulting towards the Chinese

Seagull makes good movements. I have a chinese tourbillon and it's worked for years and keeps great time. I feel that watch industry is too exclusive and is all about showing off what others can't have, this is a democratization of a hobby. I'm all for it.

Everybody has ignored what watchfinder has said in his video, despite it being the topic of every video he makes and that is the history of watches, the Swiss too started out as a cheap watch copier of more famous brands from the UK, France and Germany. You have to start somewhere, the alternative is not to start at all.

Just say it, we have been ripped off by Swiss watch companies for years. I think it’s fantastic. If China can give us a watch at this standard for $500 just give us a high quality reliable simple mechanical watch for a $1000 and win the world over.

They even chamfered the edges of the plates. How many 1000+ USD swiss branded ETA automatic non-complicated watches can say the same? And this is 500 US dollars ... and a tourbillon.

I've owned one for about a year now. I've only worn it about 6 times, but I put a nice handmade strap on it, and it sits in my watch box next to my Rolexes, Omegas, a Panerai, and a Grand Seiko. It looks right at home. I enjoy wearing it, and staring at it.

Watchfinder skipped to mention that a tourbillon is not merely a luxury movement but extremely difficult to manufacture. It is not just in the finishing. Only a very few manufacturers are capable of making it.

I don't usually watch these for the comedic writing, but I actually laughed out loud at some of these quips. You quietly sold me on this watch while politely ripping it apart.

When Companies start at Luxury Level, it's hard for them to bring the Cost down. But when companies start at the affordable level, it's easy for them to improve quality over time. That company started with affordability in mind, and their affordable watches will become better, and maybe soon, they will bring a $ 2000 watch that can rival Patek, VC or A Lange.

I really appreciate that you can also make honest reviews of watches you'd never sell. Your objectivity is commendable. Kudos to you. I bought a similar Chinese Tourbillon for around $450 (same dimensions, it just has a blue dial with some constellations stamped on it). It's not the best watch in the world, but a risk worth taking if you want to be able to look at a Tourbillon up close

This I can get behind. I don't want one, but unlike the kickstarter wannabes that copy others' designs, or lie about their specifications, this one isn't pretending to be something it isn't and that garners it a lot of forgiveness. Even a bit of respect, if I'm honest.

I said: "China". Then you said: "I'm hearing China. Are we saying China?" And then I laughed out loud.

Love the timing of the video as well. More precise, on Jun 26th, 1801, Abraham-Louis Breguet was granted a patent for his famous invention - tourbillon.

Tourbillons are so overrated and honestly overpriced. The big brands want to make you believe as if it was something extraordinary, but as an engineer, I can tell you that neither mechanically nor from a manufacturing standpoint it is a big deal in the 21st century. Same thing with the minute repeaters, that nobody really needs anymore since the invention of lume, they are quite simple mechanisms, a bit odd and quite entertaining, but still the only thing that would justify a higher price is their huge part count. Nothing special there. The fine metallurgy and all the careful manufacturing with great finishes and hand assembly do justify a higher price. but 100 1.000s of €´s? come on. Only buy if you do not know anymore what to do with your money

Your videos are the CLEANEST, smoothest and probably the best! We appreciate it.

I think there is brilliance to be admired in the creation of something so complex yet so affordable. Sacrifices must be made but finding the balance of exactly what and how much to sacrifice is worthy of acknowledgement. Like the video said, I might buy one, even if it becomes a paperweight it'll be a beautiful one.

This entry into the affordable watch space has me smitten! Cheers Watchfinder! Interlacing these videos with high horology ones seem like the best bet. Keep on trucking!

When any item is replicated in a cheap fashion just for the sake of ownership what does that really say about the people that buy one ...
