FOUND: The Watch Richard Mille Made Before RICHARD MILLE!

What if I told you he made a tourbillon with sapphire mid-case, semi-precious stone base plate, and a sculpture inside and NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT IT?! Let's check out this Mauboussin tourbillon

[@SwissWatchGang]

Thanks for the video, cool to see it on the channel, I rember seeing it ofter on LB. Congrats!

[@TickTocking]

Thanks for watching!

[@dadcaniborrowthewatch8572]

Best watches on the tube as always!

[@TickTocking]

Wow, thanks!

[@dovidmillstein2754]

How is this not worth millions?! One of the coolest watches I’ve seen (hopefully one day in person!). Nicer than an RM itself. Thanks for sharing!

[@TickTocking]

Maybe one day! For now, no one really knew what these were until I made this video

[@MartlRS]

Very cool! I like these kind of hidden gems.

[@TickTocking]

Me too!

[@timhohmann9652]

Clearly THE review of the year so far.

[@TickTocking]

Thank you!

[@baarizbobre8222]

Could you do a review of that piaget

[@TickTocking]

I wish! I only review watches that I own, and I sadly missed that one

[@angusrussell7084]

Really interesting video Steve. Congrats on discovering the back story.

[@jayebirdjb7143]

A Piece Unique for sure. Thanks for sharing!

[@TickTocking]

Thanks for watching!

[@Coltrane45]

Absolutely awesome video, love the playful candor.

[@TickTocking]

Thanks buddy!

[@neoLover23]

Perhaps the most interesting watch channel on KZbin - top 5 for certain

[@TickTocking]

Thanks! Tell your friends ;)

[@neoLover23]

@@TickTocking of course I do ! One day when I can afford an urwerk I’m calling you

[@SoCalWatchReviews]

Great video man, thanks for letting us know about this!

[@TickTocking]

You bet!

[@watchnerds]

Interesting interpretation of seamaster professional 300 with lavish movement and solid bezel....

[@TickTocking]

Not sure I understand you here...

[@watchnerds]

@@TickTocking what I'm saying is that the shape of the case is similar with omega smp from the 90s

[@vgcamara]

This was sold for $36k with a full bracelet! Now that we know the full story, I doubt it will go for that price 😂 very interesting vid

[@TickTocking]

Thanks! I do not think that sale price is accurate though unless you know something I don't (it's certainly not what I paid). Also I do not believe the bracelet was original to the watch

[@jacopocorvo2633]

He was throwing them on the floor at Baselworld to prove they were shock proof tourbillons lol

[@TickTocking]

Good marketing!

[@Ghardy92]

Keep it up Steve! Love the content and the curve balls. As soon as I think I know something about a brand or innovator… “but wait there’s more!” Another perfect example is your review of the Nitro by MB&F and Urwerk.

[@TickTocking]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@DDadams0]

The Nitro really is a special thing in its own right. Really really cool.

[@PROWATCHES]

Interesting analysis Steve, thanks

[@TickTocking]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@nakedtenyearold]

Very cool find

[@TickTocking]

Thank you

[@INTERNETDWARF]

Very interesting watch. I'd like to see it on a strap that matches the color of the semiprecious stone used. Bet it would look neat.

[@TickTocking]

Yeah that's a good idea -- a nice teal. I had it on white but it made very feminine

[@gonzalorojo6815]

Btw, I would love your thoughts on Laine (V38, GG3...). I'm waiting for one as I think it's amazing value for the money but I would love your thoughts on the quality...

[@oclvcarbon123]

Superb content. Thank you

[@TickTocking]

Glad you liked it!

[@Opal_Spectrum]

the back plate looks like Jade (jadeite)

[@TickTocking]

That would make sense

[@brandheadlights]

Do you happen to know how many pieces were made of this watch? Great video by the way!

[@TickTocking]

I don't. I would imagine not very many. I can only find ANY data on two of them

[@brandheadlights]

@@TickTocking You're the second person I see talking about this watch. The first one was Roman Sharf, but he didn't know anything about the watch himself. He actually had it for sale at Luxury Bazaar and I was contemplating making the purchase because of how interesting it looked. Is this the same watch? I don't see it listed anymore.

[@gonzalorojo6815]

The watch is ugly as hell but the story and watch is super interesting, thanks for bringing this to us

[@TickTocking]

Glad you enjoyed it
