Nice but I don't see the similarities Nicolas
It is a 3D tourbillon cage for sure but on the VC picture we see 2 additional wheels in the front and in the back and the structure seems very different.
There is a thick spiral over a balance wheel, this is all I can see in common frankly.
To this point we also could mention the Montblanc Villeret Tourbillon Cylindrique launch in 2011 if I'm not wrong. But, again, it is very different.

And, by the way, although I really liked the Gyrotourbillons escapements, but I never understood the Spherotourbillon. It is different for sure but it brings just a different animation, not a technical improvement. You remember we were talking about luxury and marketting lately...
The tourbillon cage seems very interesting, even if, of course, we'll have to wait for more details to judge
Thanks for chimming in Nicolas.
Cheers, Mark

We'll have to see that in the details, but the concept of a 3 D Tourbillon in a pocket
Watch is close, at least... Best, Nicolas
True
When I had a look at your picture, this was something I was thinking: it looks nicer and more "a propos" in this pocket watch than in a wriswatch.
