Charles Girardier Tourbillon Extra Thin

Among all the complications that luxury watchmakers offer, Tourbillon is one of the most prestiges and one of the most fascinating complications to see in action. Created by Louis Breguet in the late 1700s, the purpose of this mechanism is to counteract the effects of gravity on the balance wheel and escapement in order to provide a more accurate time.

The Charles Girarder Tourbillon Extra Thin limited is a great option for those who are looking to add a Tourbillon timepiece to their collection.

This Tourbillon is one of our top picks because of the overall value and aesthetics. This timepiece have exquisite decorations done on the dial side, as well as the movement, plus a more wearable case size when compare to other Tourbillons in its price range.

This case is crafted from stainless steel and measures 40 mm in diameter and only 8.7 mm in thickness. The case wraps around the wrist using a black alligator leather strap with tang buckle.

Under the sapphire crystal, there’s large exposed Flying Tourbillon at 9 and the dial has been decorated with Cote de Geneva stripes running vertically.

Under the hood, this CG uses caliber VMF 5430. This is a manual movement adjusted in 5 positions and composed of 160 parts. The caliber works at 3 hertz and has a power reserve of 48 hours.
