Note, purely in the interests of accuracy, that many of the ETA movements are now a Sellita-supplied equivalent.

I got to be honest though. maybe it just me but i found ETA is more accurate than sellita. anyone experience the same ?

I might be retarded but to me that video does not explain how a tourbillion actually works
I’m yet to find one that does! They explain why it came about and how it rotates, but I’m still scratching my head.

Would also like to know why watches with them command such a premium. I realise there’s a lot of time involved but this is also true of the rest of the movement right?

Hey Folks,
Much has been said about the current Calibre 11being an inexpensive movement. How is the build quality and reliability in practice?

Thanks,
Robert

No issues with mine. Not sure who has said it's an "inexpensive" movement? I'd bet that it costs more per unit than the Heuer 02
