❑❑❑❑ L’ARNAQUE DU JOUR : magnifique enfumage que cette smartwatch à tourbillon et quantième perpétuel (séquence « Rock’n’Horl 2020 » : Business Montres du 25 février) ! Un article assez ironique, qu’il fallait bien sûr lire au second degré, mais la sagacité de nos lecteurs n’a pas de limites : certains d’entre eux, intrigués par cette offre, ont très vite repéré l’arnaque. En fait, le tourbillon proposé par l’équipe new-yorkaise Lankzet n’en est pas un ! C’est un simple composant mécanique qui ne règle rien et qui tourne pour le plaisir des yeux quand il est remonté par la couronne. Une des images présentées sur Kickstarter dévoile incidemment la supercherie (ci-dessous). Même sur la vidéo, on a du mal à repérer la farce. Comme personne n’a encore vu la montre (60 contributeurs pour près de 22 000 euros souscrits), il faudra vérifier tout ça lors de la livraison. 370 euros le faux tourbillon dans une montre connectée à 50 dollars : on vit une époque formidable…

•••• Lankzet announces the launch of their latest - Affordable Tourbillon Luxury Smartwatch
Lankzet recently launched a truly revolutionary new timepiece, a luxury Smartwatch that takes the exquisite tourbillon mechanical watch design and integrates it with cutting edge smartwatch functionality for an incredible combination of tradition and innovation. Now, the precision and intrigue of automatic mechanical tourbillion timekeeping is affordable for anyone. Available now on Kickstarter:
As any watch aficionado knows, a Tourbillion is a method of increasing the accuracy of mechanical watches by mounting the escapement and balance wheel of the movement in a cage that rotates continually around its axis. This method negates the effect that gravity has on the watch balance springs and provides more accurate timekeeping. When viewed through the glass, the effect is stunning – a perpetually moving delicate mechanism that is both beautiful and functional.
Tourbillion watches are difficult and time consuming to make, which increases the cost. But now, Lankzet has created an incredible watch that combines the best of the traditional and the modern – an affordable mechanical watch with a classic design and intelligent smartwatch features.
“Generations of watch lovers have marveled at the beauty and complexity of Tourbillion watch complication. The intricate perpetuation of its movement is hypnotizing and inspiring. With Lankzet, our goal was to join the mechanical beauty of the Tourbillion with the intelligent functionality of modern smart features. The result is functional beauty that anyone can appreciate.” – Puble, CEO Lankzet
The Lankzet design is a stylish standout with carefully considered details: Low profile, 12.2mm slim shape, ergonomically shaped 316L Stainless Steel Frame all protected by a scratchproof and virtually unbreakable Sapphire crystal glass. But the Lankzet Tourbillion is more than just a timekeeper, it is fully integrated with a powerful app to provide a suite of useful smart features such as the perpetual calendar, battery life indicator, innovative games, moon phase, and more indicated using the mechanical hands of the watch in a way that can be read easily at a glance.
With their latest release, Lankzet has demonstrated that modern smart features and traditional watch craftsmanship can coexist. Their approach to watchmaking combines the best of the traditional and modern in a stylish design that fits perfectly with modern active lifestyles.
