An Indiegogo campaign with a slightly more dramatic sales pitch:

How exactly does a company go about getting their watches certified as millionaire watches?
All of my watches are millionaire watches. I just need the £££s to complete the set. :-(
F.T.F.A.
No Tag, or Chinese to price compare then?
It's just a matter of time...
Looks like a Hangzhou HZ3361

So much for upsetting the tourbillon cartel.
*i rather like that 3450K, might find one and build my own millionaire watch :)

Ok, let's look past the marketing 'millionaire' part - well actually you can't as the whole watch is basically a big marketing campaign and spouting a whole load of rubbish. The movement is a 'HZ3360A movement' which seems to be based on the HZ3310 - which of course is Chinese and quite standard. PLUS they managed to make it look butt ugly. A great achievement.
If you are interested in Chinese tourbillon search on the above items - slightly better looking stuff for a lot less.
In Greek mythology Prometheus stole fire from the Gods and gave it to mankind.
He took from those with unlimited power, and shared a gift that was meant for all.
Inspired by this timeless myth, we made a tourbillon watch attainable for all.
What is intriguing however is the amount of money they are able to make...
its a decorated/skeletonised chinese tourby - the likes of which can be had with a group-buy direct from the factories - for 300-600$ each depending on level of finish
search ebay for a seagull tourbillon - they are better quality and go for about £600 - nicer designs too

I’ve never seen the pointof a tourbillon in a wristwatch, just a complication for complications sake.
Non tourbillon watches are accurate enough for everyday needs and if greater accuracy is necessary then a good quartz will meet that requirement.
....and it's ugly!
It makes more sense in a pocket watch that tends to be held sideways to gravity, but ultimately it's no where near as helpful as very precise poising and balancing. A fool and his money...
LOLZ. Cheap knock-off of a cheap Chinese knock-off.
I once bought the underlying Chinese version because I was fascinated with the idea of owning a tourbillon, but it stank so badly of chemicals that I resold it within a few days.
Someone who lies about the little things will lie about the big things too.
Funny thing is, if it's more or less decently made, presented and sold in a boutique say in Sloane or New Bond St quite a few 'millionaires' would happily would part with the cash as they do not know any better.
