Something new and unique at Gem by Carati, are ‘tourbillon’ style cufflinks by TF Est.1968.

“Encased in a cage of steel, sporting an array of carbon details, a watchmaking mechanism in perfect working order accompanies every movement of the wearer's wrist. Through what appears to be the transparent crystal of a watch case, the eye is beckoned towards a voyeuristic display of technical achievement. Design-wise, the lack of conventional stem accentuates the functional aspect of the piece, preventing it from rotating on its own axis. A neat and snappy precision spring clasp system holds the piece in place, anchoring it firmly to the shirt.”

Really neat cufflinks if you're a watch guy!

So is it functional?

damn cool. Not much point in any movement if they have no realistic functionality is there?


If people noticed cuff links more, I'd consider a set, but it just seems pointless to blow $500 on a completely unnoticed attire detail.:dunno:
Of all the cufflinks I've owned, I've never had anybody comment on how cool or different some of them were.
These *ARE* cool for sure, but seems rather pointless since its a detail very few pay a stitch of attention to.

You don't buy these because you want other people to notice them...

I picked up a set last night for my step dad:
