Manufaktur Waldhoff will launch 2 all new tourbillon timepieces on Kickstarter within the next 5 days. Link to website https://manufaktur-waldhoff.de/

Front view:


Rear view:


Side view(lower your volume before watching this one):


Info posted on KS Watches Facebook group:
Hangzhou 3452 Co-Axial Tourbillon with high-frequency (28,800bph) and 80 hours of power reserve thanks to twin barrels. The dial ring and index are supplied by a Taiwanese (premium level) dial manufacturer, and the hands and index are filled with Swiss Tritec luminous (due to the rather small surface area, they won't be nearly as bright as a diving watch). The watch consists of a real Swiss sapphire case surrounded by a steel frame.

I tried a few times and I tried going to the Fratello site, but once again, no story. I googled and got nothing. My guess is that Fratello accidentally released a prepared article about this watch but there is still a press embargo. Watchville, being a good little aggregator, put the story in their feed and the header remained even after Fratello realized their oops and deleted the article. Google Images found me these photos a little while ago but so far there is no other info that I've been able to find. The residual link for the story still shows up with a search but it just leads to the same Hamilton page on Fratello. The watch appears to be a recreation of the W10 (photo of an original below), a military watch that was made by a number of companies including Hamilton and CWC. I believe MWC still makes a watch like this. The reference number for this new Hamilton is H764190 as shown on the caseback in one of the images. It has 100m of water resistance. Judging by the word "mechanical" on the dial, I'm sure it will be a hand-winding movement, probably either the ETA 2801 or more likely Hamilton's H-50 movement, which is basically the 2801 with a lower beat rate and longer power reserve. Anybody else find any other info? Any thoughts about the watch?
That. Is. Awesome! If anybody wants one, just wait til I get mine and get bored with it, but I _really_ like it!

Remove the power reserve, or move it to 12:00 if possible, move the date to 6:00 (or remove it completely) and it would be perfect.

Looks like this post from Oris was put up and then taken down, but not before someone screen grabbed it.
Don't know anything more, but from their most recent FB post there may be an official announcement from Oris tomorrow.

Perfection is when they do that and slashed the price 75%....there are other watches I’d get for €4650...

There is that. €4650 for essentially a quartz watch (yes, I opened that can of worms) is nuts.

🚀🌌 🤖 Due to an error set my watch, I am from roughly 5 minutes in the future. That probably doesn't give me much of an advantage when it comes to price prognosticating. However I pay fairly close attention to Hamilton prices. Nothing I have read so far seem to indicate that these are in any way limited in production. And the 33mm size will likely temper the demand somewhat. So my best guess is that after a few months time these will dip below the $500 mark. I think in 6 months they'll probably be around $450 or lower. Also, I'm just adding the links on Hamilton's site as they were not up at the time of the news releases.
