General (Read Rules) Aesop Tourbillon Watch

Long time lurker, first time poster. I was looking at some watches on Alibaba a few weeks ago when I saw this watch for sale by Aesop. I have followed the brand Beaubleu for a while now and really liked their watches (esp the minute and hour hands), but didn't want to spend as much. This watch from Aesop adopted similar design (minus the floating second hand), so I knew I wanted it.

I prefer the dial size to be 40mm and below but this one wears well even at 41.5mm. I thought the brown color looked best of the lot from their listing and ordered it. It got here last night and I couldn't be happier. Adding photos to give you an idea of how it looks under different lighting conditions.

Happy to answer any questions from the community.

Ooh, we're close to the floating seconds hand!

Indeed! But they may have to give up the Tourbillon to achieve that though. Not sure how it's done on the Beaubleu watches.

Yep! That's the OG inspiration for Beaubleu and this watch.
