Technically very interesting...

Don,
Thanks for posting this; it's nice to hear about what the independents are up to. Here's the inner monologue that I heard as I read it...
"Gosh, that's interesting. A triple tourby, with a differential, so that the three spinning thingummies which are supposed to even out the effects of gravity actually spin round each other and even out that selfsame evening out...hmmm...I wonder how if that makes it more accurate...what if you then put the three in their differential into a group of three with another differential, and so on, then what? Oh, hey, look, pictures...movement looks well-finished, although the bridges aren't particularly harmonious to my eye...ooh, kinda different hands....now how's the case---OHHH!!!"
I'm afraid it's not to my taste. Hey, at least there's no date window to drive sticklers like Nicolas and me nuts. And the two-tone rose gold / white gold model is better than most attempts at two-tone. But I would (politely) question, for example, the pads of diamonds on the sides of the case; and, from a practical standpoint, the 12 screws holding the case together at the half-hour marks seems confusing.
Best
E.

BaselWorld 2015 - Antoine Preziuso AHCI member Antoine Preziuso first annunced a triple tourbillon about 10 years ago. It worked, but wasn't reliable. Now together with his son Florian, watchmaker and designer, they have announced a new, redeveloped tripl...

This one goes all the way ... He was once quoted as saying, "I make jewelry for men." Others may claim that they make "wearable art" or whatever, according to their own artistry and creative ingenuity. In this instance, the HANDS are what do it for me! Af...
I see 2 possibilities...

either the tourbi's are in resonance, then they are synchronous, there is nothing to average, or they average through the differential. It would be interesting to know how the set the timing of each of the tourbi's. Don
