What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Horage Tourbillon 2

Owners and reviewers highlight the Horage Tourbillon 2's COSC-certified K-TOU movement, featuring a 120-hour power reserve and silicon components, with the tourbillon itself celebrated as a display of engineering as art. The watch is available in various materials and dial options, including Grand Feu enamel and a unique blue pattern. Pre-order prices begin at CHF 8,990 for steel and CHF 20,470 for white gold. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Horage Tourbillon 2 highly for its impressive movement engineering and artistic presentation of the tourbillon at its price point.

HELM Vanuatu
