Pros
If one needs proof on how luxury retail can be a scientific endeavor, look no further than Carl F. Bucherer’s Manero Tourbillon Double Peripheral watch. The watch’s tourbillon, including its spring and escapement, is balanced through a never-ending rotation of its cage without any bridges holding it in place within the movement. Such has never been achieved in the luxury watch market and is breaking ground for future possibilities and innovations within the industry. Design-wise, the timepiece exemplifies a classic style complete with a shimmering gilded case and crown.
Cons
The watch is a technological marvel and should be treated as such when worn. Wearers of this timepiece must be careful not to engage in too strenuous activities in order to avoid substantial damage. This makes the timepiece more of a collector’s item than a mere accessory people can wear for their everyday lives. Despite is simple yet classic style, the watch is a one-of-a-kind timepiece that might rarely be replaced or even duplicated.
