The British Horological Institute Limited

The FLYING TOURBILLON, the watch every enthusiast wants...

is usually out of reach for most of us, with a price tag in the thousands. The entire escapement is mounted in a carriage that rotates once a minute and is visible through an aperture in the dial, so the pointer attached to the carriage itself acts as the second hand.

We've commissioned a special 'BHI 150' edition of the fantastic Flying Tourbillon to mark the Institute's 150th Anniversary. The dial is branded with the Institute's Armorial Bearings, with the 'BHI 150' marking clearly but discreetly showing exactly what this watch is commemorating.

The 52-hour hand-wound 21,600 vph movement carries a 24 month manufacturer's guarantee, and is protected by a stainless steel case, with mineral glass to the front and rear. The watch comes complete with smart black padded leather strap and deployant clasp, engraved with 'BHI 150'.

For a limited period you can buy this exclusive version of the fantastic flying tourbillon watch direct from the BHI for the amazing price of £385, or just £335 for BHI members! (Postage and packing charges will apply if the watch is not collected - £6 UK, £12 overseas* - deliveries will require a signature.)

Clearly at this price, the watch is sourced from China - a European tourbillon would cost many thousands of pounds more - but the quality is exceptional for the price, and the affordability brings this tourbillon into the reach of many watch enthusiasts and collectors who would otherwise never be able to consider owning such a watch. To keep the price to a minimum (and because we know it's the watch itself you'll be interested in) there's no fancy presentation box, but of course we'll carefully pack your watch in bubble-wrap for safe delivery.

Contact the BHI today to order your own FLYING TOURBILLON or download an order form right now!!

Please note that we will require full payment with your order, and delivery may be up to 3 months.

This offer is subject to availability and may be changed or withdrawn at any time without notice.

*NOTE: We will dispatch watches overseas, but the purchaser will be responsible for any additional duty/tax/etc charged.
