Any tourbillons out there?

Great value for money!

Mine is a bit earlier and is not a tourbillon for the wrist. It was probably finished in the early 1850s. Here is a link to a gallery of photos. The gallery is old and since it was made, we have determined that the last picture in the gallery probably does not actually feature the owner of the watch. Since the pictures were taken it has been cleaned and is now running like a champ.

The link seems to work for me from both of my computers but I will post a few of the pictures. This watch came from the estate of a son of one of the original owner's daughters.
