[SOLD-OUT] Aragon Auto Flying Tourbillon LE50 $600

Now Wing should've came out with something what you posted Mike. That's my cup of tea I don't if I would be able to afford it though but that's what I like to see in a tourbillon watch. These 2 have an Asian flair to them. I understand why Wing went this route putting a tourbillon in a dive watch but I want something with more flair.
Memorigin has some terrific designs, just for my tastes, but, starting at six grand, is not money I'm willing to spend.

Whenever I see designs like these Steve you immediately come to mind. I know how you love these types of designs and I can see why.

Great country craftsman

In December 2018, the China National Light Industry Council and the China Finance, Trade, Textile and Tobacco Trade Union issued the "Decision on Naming Light Industry "Great Power Craftsmen". 42 people are based on their jobs, love their jobs and are dedicated to their jobs, and are promoting my country's transformation from a manufacturing country to a manufacturing country. Comrades who made great contributions were awarded the honorary title of "Great Power Craftsman". Liaoning Peacock Watch Industry Co., Ltd. Wu Zhi is famous on the list. With the craftsman spirit of diligent research, excellence, and dedication, it shows the demeanor of the workers in the new era of Peacock Watch Industry!

Wu Zhirong, a molder from the Liaoning Peacock Watch Industry Tool Factory, has silently stuck to his ordinary work for 40 years, devoted himself to the technological innovation of various molds, and made outstanding contributions to both the enterprise and the Chinese watch industry.

Exquisite craftsmanship, adhere to the responsibility and belief of the watch craftsman!


Wu Zhirong joined the tool factory of Liaoning Peacock Watch Co., Ltd. in 1978. In 1990, he went to Switzerland with his master to study and was awarded the title of Expert in Small Hole Moulds for Watches and Clocks issued by Swiss Lambda Watch Industry Company; in 1995, he was awarded a technician qualification certificate issued by the Ministry of Labor and Human Resources of China; 2015, 2016, 2017 Won the title of "Quality Model" in the company.

With his exquisite skills, Wu Zhirong has won unanimous domestic and international recognition. He showed his unique ideas and insights in mold innovation, especially making important contributions to the pallet fork mold. The one-time blanking die was a dream that was difficult for generations of watch companies to realize, and it was finally realized in Wu Zhirong's hands. He broke the model of making molds imitating the Soviet Union, using a unique way of thinking, and successfully developed. It not only solves the previous processing problems of waste tools and waste parts from the moving parts factory, but also reduces related processes. After careful polishing, the consistency of the pallet fork parts produced has reached the Swiss level, which is the first in the domestic watch industry. Swiss experts went to the Peacock Watch Industry to pick up the pallet fork and compare it with the model, and praised it repeatedly.

In the development of many molds, Wu Zhirong has made innovations. In order to learn and surpass Swiss watchmaking technology, in 2014, Peacock Watch Industry signed a new product technology contract with Swiss Inter T SA to jointly develop a new type of movement. This movement is hailed as the most complicated product in the manufacturing process of various parts since the establishment of the company. The stepping die for changing the sun head is the most precise and difficult to manufacture die among the die. After Wu Zhirong's meticulous research and repeated attempts, finally, this set of molds was successfully trial-produced and was recognized by the front factory as the best mold in the past few years.

Inheritance of ingenuity, together to guard the pursuit and dream of watch craftsmen!

The mold class of Peacock Watch Industry has always inherited a fine tradition, that is, respecting the teacher and respecting the morals. This concept is deeply buried in the heart of every mold worker. Although the age difference between Wu Zhirong and his master is small, he "has a priori after hearing the truth and specializing in surgery". Since entering the tool factory, he has been studying with great concentration. Even after 40 years, if Wu Zhirong encounters problems in his work, he will still ask the teacher, and the teacher will still do his best to guide him.

Now, Wu Zhirong also unreservedly teaches his apprentices his mold skills. He imparts knowledge that is conducive to rapid and healthy growth to employees in terms of ideology, operating procedures, business skills, and service skills. "Strictly teaches good students", "Teachers also learn from each other." Now, Wu Zhirong's apprentices can independently operate and make molds. Talent is the basic condition for the development and growth of an enterprise. Wu Zhirong has also made great contributions to the cultivation of talents for the enterprise on the basis of doing his job well.

Diligent, down-to-earth, is the most true portrayal of Wu Zhirong. He has proved with practical actions that he can make extraordinary contributions in ordinary positions. He and his working partners have used Hengxin's perseverance, superb skills, and ingenuity to write about the watch craftsman day after day. One year's ultimate pursuit and dream-to make the world's top watches made in China, and make Chinese peacocks into the world's peacocks!

At present, the Peacock Watch Industry has more than 1,000 employees, including nearly 100 engineers and technicians, and more than 50 technicians with more than 20 years of watchmaking experience. It is they jointly explore the innovative development direction of watches, and always insist on creating tourbillon watch products with "unique tension of the times". It was their breakthroughs and innovations that allowed the tourbillon designed and developed by the Peacock Watch Industry to obtain multiple patents and award certificates, and to make stunning appearances at the 31st to 37th Hong Kong International Watch and Clock Fair. The "Double Tourbillon" watch is even more outstanding. A beautiful "Chinese brand" has been played in the world's complex mechanical watch market! It is their hard work and perseverance that allowed the Peacock Watch Industry to use its strength to win the honor of China Tourbillon Watch Manufacturing (Dandong) base!

The cover splint of the watch subverts the traditional design concept, and the middle splint is loaded in a half-plate shape, which makes the whole watch movement highlight the three-dimensional, suspended and ethereal exquisiteness and elegance.
 
Which one did you get and what did you get that's on it's way if you don't mind me asking?
The black, 48mm. I think the black compliments the open movement well. Plus, a white bezel, hmm, not really for me. I think I only have one in all of my watches -- one of the Deep Blues posted earlier, or similar to that.

Ha, I kind of didn't want to reveal it yet, but it ain't no state secret, lol and, given how far behind I am in posting up acquisitions, it's more exciting to talk about it now, then months from now. Should arrive by early June.

So, drum roll, it's a Zorbello, their T1, or what I might wind up calling a Zorbillon. :ROFLMAO:

Automatic Peacock tourby is modified in house with their company logo on the tourbillon carriage, and it happens that the logo shape very much echoes a project of my own, in my work, so it's kind of a neat and rare coincidence there. Power reserve and 24 hour subdials, and just really reminds me of high end Swiss designs I doubt I'll ever buy.

45mm case, 45 PR, 100m WR, sapphire front and back, and a luminous, forged carbon bezel and case back -- lume has been swirled into the forged carbon, which looks quite unique in the pics. Tourbillon carriage is lumed as well, plus the PR subdial. Only a combination of C1 and C3, so, not a Zelos lume beast, but, should be entertaining in the dark. Like Tsao Baltimore, the watch box in which it arrives is a winder, which is handy.

As I say, goes for near to two grand, but I got it for half of that, on a 24 hour sale. I've quit considering watch offerings from Drop, but this one was on Touch of Modern, which is carrying a pretty great range of options now and again and the few watches I've picked up there have been priced well below retail, and have been a great buys, zero issues.

In fact, it was less than a grand, because they were also handing out a few hundred bucks of store credit with the purchase, so I got it for less than half price, all in. Total unknown as a brand, but the website made a good impression, and, again, for what it appears to be, I found it to be worth bringing home. Check it out at zorbello.com. I went for the blue one in the T1 series. I'm actually quite excited about it, lol.
 
I like it. It's a cool looking watch, congrats and looking forward to your photos and review. The price wasn't bad at all that you paid IMHO. Wear it well. :cheers:

I also agree about the black in Wings tourby. That would have been my choice as well, but in the 43mm.

Well, I finally ordered the WHITE version this morning. (y)

I feel it has plenty of features and it is well worth the $600 intro price especially given the white luminous dial that the black version lacks.

Out of the 18+ tourbillon watches I own this is my first with a Peacock tourbillon movement, which in itself is the most compelling reason I decided to buy this watch:cool:.

Lastly, I emphatically trust Wing and Aragon to stand behind this new tourbillon modei should something go wrong based on his past history😎

Congrats on picking one up to go with the rest of your tourbillons. I have to disagree with you about doing the right thing from past history. I actually feel the opposite about this in some ways. I've reached out several times in the past asking about my issues with all the hazing under my mineral crystals .. crickets! I've read that Brad has encountered the same issues with his Aragon watches. That in my mind tells me that problems are not historically being addressed.

:outstand: :up::applaud:
 
It was only 50 of each. That = $120,000.00 :hmm: I guess the Aragon fans are losing their mind because it's the first time something has sold out in a day or so. Technically these have been selling for a few months now. Get ready for the e-mail advertisements of "the acclaimed Aragon Tourby sold out in less than a day! Three colors already sold out on the HH3 and that alone = $329,000.00.

Congrats to Aragon and to the fans who are happy they scored.
