My friend Jeremy once bought a tourbillon watch on eBay. Tourbillons were invented by Breguet in the 1880s in order to offset the force of gravity on the balance wheel and they’ve become something of a status symbol of late. Jeremy’s watch, however, had a working tourbillon in it but broke maybe three weeks after he bought it, never to run again. This is what I think of this wonky but almost note-perfect rendition of the iPhone. But, like most Chinese knock offs, they might have gotten the details right but the rest is abysmal.
