It's certainly funky. If you can get past that it's kind of cool in an odd-ball way. Not that I'd ever be seen dead in it :wink:

The watch doesn't disturb me as much as imagining what the "deeper" aspects are of the Milt-Fresh Experience.

Well that one almost makes this $6999 Chinese Tourbillon almost look OK.

Chinese tourbillon? Really?

Believe it or not Chinese tourbillons are fairly extensively used. The largest Breitling AD network in Canada is called La Swiss and they have their own brand of watches that use Chinese tourbillons.

The most famous use of Chinese tourbillons was by Cecil Purnell. They have (supposedly) changed now, but they had Chinese tourbillons in their movements for some time - ironic for a Swiss watch company whose differentiator is that they only produce tourbillon movement watches!!!

I know that price is low when compared to Swiss tourbillon watches, but when I think of the kind of non-tourbillon watch I could get for $7k...who would even think of getting the Longio?

I saw this watch on Nbc shop at home ,and had to find an up close picture of it. I never laughed so hard watching them talk this watch up.
