Can I disagree ?

Those Richard Mille are butt ugly.
The Royal oak is nice but a sports watch really doesn't need a tourbillon (imo)
The Cartier, not a fan.


I would suggest some Tourbillons from Breguet and Girard Perregaux among the big brands
And if independents are allowed, the list is long

I like flashy things, but I respect your opinion.

Do you have any particular models of those suggestions?

Personal favorite is the Vacheron constantin overseas 6000v skeleton.

Agreed that the RMs are butt ugly.

Vacheron, Lange, AP...are all special!

That said there's lots of great ones out there, in all sorts of applications...some front and center stage...others on the back of the watch for only you to enjoy and less flashy...

I love them all! Mesmerizing!

In my opinion tourbillons all look ugly in wristwatches.

They really only shine in pocket watches.

Vacheron

Love the overall feel, elegance, versatility of straps, and peripheral rotor that allows admiration of the movement!

I have seen videos of the Twin Turbo Furious (below) and it is quite a sight to behold. It has two triple-axis tourbillon and is a decimal minute repeater, and if I recall from Revolution Watch, this is the work of Le Cercle des Horlogers.

This one by Chopard LUC deserves a special mention also because many tourbillons are way too big. This LUC Flying Tourbillon is only 36.5mm in diameter and 8.2mm thick (and it is an automatic!). It comes in a salmon guilloche dial with triangular applied markers and Dauphine hands. Lovely.

The VC Overseas Tourbillons are very nice.

Without question, FPJ needs to be on the top of the list. Ruby red FPJ tourb takes the cake for me.
