The Gagarin Tourbillon Celebrates the First Manned Space Flight

— April 13, 2011 — Luxury
On April 12th, 1961, Russian Yuri Gagarin became the first man to go into space. Watchmaker Bernhard Lederer has built a special watch dubbed the Gagarin Tourbillon to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's historict space flight.

The Gagarin Tourbillon has a slew of luxurious and unique features that are sure to make it a collector's item. The watch is made out of platinum and comes in a case mad from Platinum 950. A rotating magnifying glass has also been installed just in case you want to take a closer look at the time. The coolest feature of this watch without a doubt is its flying tourbillon that makes one counterclockwise rotation around the dial counter in 108 minutes which mimics Gagarin's historic trip around the Earth in the Vostok 1.
