Super rare original TF ballpoint pen watch with mechanical movement and a sensational tourbillon for its size, which can be observed through a viewing window
Delivered in full set and in best condition in original case, presumably it is an unused stock piece that was never in use
Attention, for laymen: The concept of the TF Tourbillon is purely optical for the enjoyment of the owner when writing, the movement does not show the time, nor can it be wound up and runs, it only moves when the pen is moved with
Tourbillon pen by TF Est. 1968, a never-before-seen way to admire beautiful watch parts without constantly looking at the watch on your wrist
As TF Est. 1968 puts it: “The written word and the passage of time, all in one”
The tourbillon mechanism, which encompasses all the functional parts of a tourbillon, is visible through a robust, transparent glass tilted at 45°. Original description "TF" from 1968:
"A fully functional mechanical movement mechanism that accurately performs the functions expected of a tourbillon." The tourbillon is airtight, watertight, and shock- and impact-resistant.
Each pen was individually numbered and had a 2-year guarantee. The example in this offer is a very early example with number 0215
The tourbillon pen in this offer comes in the luxurious original box from 1968, which could be upgraded to accommodate additional cufflinks. Also included: a slim, elegant case for use and transport.
There were seven pen variants, with prices starting (1968!!!) at 930 USD
EZ - 1: No noticeable signs of age or wear, presumably an unused storage item, only the original case has slight storage marks, i.e. abrasions (see photos)
