I think the fourth pic over is a Mulliner tourbillion! Anyone else think so? That would be worth a trip to Japan just to see that one watch! |

Certainly looks it....didn't realise this model existed, $172,000. Most expensive Breitling that isn't a Diamondworks? http://tinyurl.com/29h9mg |

That watch might do for my next one... with interest rates lates so low, maybe I can take out a 30-year fixed mortgage on it. You figure that piece will appreciate more than this dreaded real estate market. |

i believe that is the tourbillon, but wouldn't it retail for a little bit less since it is pre-made? i also like the table (pic 5) with the motors t bezel edge. |

Oh My God! Talk about a shopping trip made in Heaven. Not only is the shop full of Breitlings, the decor is just about as tasteful as one could imagine. Never been to Japan, but this is another great incentive. Cheers, Carl |

I popped into this store today. Rather small but the staff were quite friendly. That is indeed a Tourbillon, it is still in the store for IIRC 15 or 19 million yen. They have a number of books and leaflets which I hadn't seen before. All in Japanese including one special one about the Tourbillon itself. I took a couple of pictures from the outside, and one upstairs when I went up there and was alone with my wife. Then when one of the staff members came up I asked if I could take some more photos and they said I couldn't ![]() If you're in Tokyo it is well worth checking out. |

My three pics! http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/4958/dsc06181rw3.jpg http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/7088/dsc06182ue4.jpg The top floor is just for the Bentley range. The Tourbillon is in the left cabinet in the middle of the room and the right hand cabinet had a lovely Mark VI Complications 29. In the very left of the image you can see the books and leaflets all about the various watches. http://img392.imageshack.us/img392/3895/dsc06183ta6.jpg My wife wants to go shopping in Ginza so I might head back there and see if one of the other guys will let me take a few more pics if anyone is interested ![]() |

![]() What do you think? Of course we're interested - as Ling Man would say - it's your DUTY to go back there and take as many pics as possible. They aren't going to throw you out as long as you have a Breitling on ![]() And if they do, it's not my fault ![]() |

I've also been there, as I've been living here for two months now. The shop is a very nice place but it's much smaller than you would think from their pictures. This also means that their supply is far from satisfying... When I entered the first time I'd expected to find much more in stock when they are calling themselves "House of Breitling". The best place to shop for Breitling I've found is BEST Watches in Shinjuku (they are actually the same company as the House of Breitling in Ginza and BEST in Aoyama). |
