Sea-gull movement,most of cheap(er) tourbillons use them.S.et.T was swiss brand.
You could find them for £500 under other brand name.
Browsing in a mall in Kuala Lumpur today and this piqued my interest. With recent announcements of the TAG tourbillon being the cheapest Swiss one at GBP12,000, this comes in at a much lower price point! At RM 10,600, that works out at about GBP 1,700 at current exchange rates, before discount.
I've never heard of Solvil et Titus, but the guy in the shop told me they are Japanese. The Tourbillon, however, is a chinese movement. Manual wind, gold plated case. I'm quite drawn to it! Anyone know anything more about these?
1st image is a video of the tourbillon doing its thing, which I find quite mesmerising. Apologies if it doesn't run

But what to do if it stops running or need a service?
New movement? :D
Seagull movements are generally quite reliable aren't they? Is this one reliable?
Are S et T no longer Swiss then?
It's not Japanese. It's Chinese (HK). But I guess at least the brand has some history. Many Chinese brands that want to appear more upmarket than they are often just make up European-sounding names.
that's what has put me off buying one of the chinese tourbillons, they are fascinating though, i'd like to try one on sometime.Originally Posted by Time Cat

It looks nicely finished at least. Is it a true Tourbillon in terms of accuracy etc though? Or is it all just about the kudos of such a movement?
That looks cool! Wonder what the quality is like, I expect it's not the last word in refinement but I'd love to try one on.
I once met a German lawyer on holiday called Titus Heck, I bet he'd be interested in one.
Been googling.
Found this thread very interesting and informative.
