On October 10th at or just before 14:00 CET the Tourbillon 2 pre-order will begin. The pre-order pricing starting at 8,990CHF will be available for only 7 days until October 17th @14:00CET.
Pre-Order Rounds
There will be two pre-order rounds starting with the VIP Bird Pre-Order and with the second named the Early Bird Pre-Order.
The VIP Bird Pre-Order round starts on October 10th, 2023 and runs for 7 days. This Pre-Order offers the best value and earliest delivery to those who place their order and are willing to wait until production is complete in Q1 2024. Full payment options will be prioritized for delivery before delivery of split payment options. The planned delivery time for all VIP Bird orders is in Q1 of 2024.
The second Early Bird Pre-Order will start at a later date with all six customisable watch options increasing in price by 2,000 CHF. Currently, the delivery window for the Early Bird pre-order is planned for Q2 2024.
There will be a limited quantity of on-stock watches starting after all pre-orders are delivered, most likely between Q2 & Q3 of 2024. The final retail price will settle at 3,000 CHF higher than the initial VIP Pre-Order round.
VIP Bird Pricing & Timepiece Options
For the Tourbillon 2, there are six carefully curated customizable options to choose from, starting at 8,990 CHF in the VIP Pre-Order Round.
Again, pricing increases depending on the upgradeable customized options selected.

Payment Options
As with previous timepiece pre-orders, we will offer a full and split payment option at checkout.
Full Payment
For those who select the full payment option, delivery of your order will be prioritized over split payment orders. This means your watch will be the first to be delivered from the pre-order round.
Split Payment
We understand that a tourbillon is a significant purchase and therefore we offer our interest-free split payment option. With the split payment option, you can pay 50% of your customized watch price at checkout and the remaining 50% three months later via an automated invoice that will be sent out to you. If you have credit card limitations please contact us directly at lostintime@horage.com to see how we can help with either a direct bank transfer or other credit card payment options.
Credit and Debit cards are accepted as well as bank transfers.
If making a bank transfer please select "Manual Payment" from the payment options. You can then send the amount to the bank details listed there. Once the transfer is made please send a follow-up email along with transfer details so we can match them with our accounts and mark your order as paid. If you have any questions or would like to discuss bank transfer currency options please feel free to contact us at lostintime@horage.com.

What If I Change My Mind?
Every Tourbillon 2 is made to order, however, you can request to cancel your order within 2 weeks of placing your pre-order. There will be a 5% administration fee that covers financial processing fees and reallocation of your order. Please note that after 2 weeks your order is final and non-refundable as it is a customised made-to-order watch. Please only order if you are 100% positive Tourbillon 2 is for you. By pre-ordering you get the most options and a price that is 3,000 Swiss francs less than it will be at retail. If you are on the fence about the purchase then please wait till 2024 when you can order from the stock options as we do not want to disappoint anyone requesting a refund.
When will it ship?
Each Tourbillon 2 is manufactured based on pre-orders. There is no physical stock at the time of placing your order. Orders for the first pre-order will start to ship at some point in Q1 2024. Watches are made by our watchmakers here in Biel/Bienne, Switzerland and due to the handmade nature of movement and watch assembly an exact date cannot be guaranteed at this time. We strive to deliver within Q1, 2024.

Now that you are ready to pre-order what are those indices on Tourbillon 2 all about?
Before we go let's give you an idea of the hour markers on the Tourbillon 2 dial. In case you missed it we looked to carry the energy of the Tourbillon 1 forward into Tourbillon 2 with the inclusion of hour markers/indices inspired by Tourbillon 1.
At 12, 3 and 9 o'clock we have the anchor and escape wheel.
At 1 o'clock we have the bearing of the tourbillon cage and 2 o'clock is the escapement hairspring. For Tourbillon 2 the hairspring has been upgraded to silicon.
At 4 o'clock it's the open main barrel of Tourbillon 1 and at 5 o'clock it's the smaller ratchet wheel with the multi-colour Horage logo.
At 7 & 8 o'clock there are there is a screw head and the indices of Tourbillon 1 at 8 o'clock.
10 o'clock is a tricky one as it's the bottom of the ratchet spring that leads to the larger ratchet wheel at 11 o'clock.
