Binger “Double Tourbillon” Moon Phase Watch Review

Binger Double Tourbillon SS Watch

Is this watch using double tourbillon? I do not think so.

Binger is not a Swiss watch brand, it is totally a Chinese brand. In their brand story you may read somewhere on the internet, it is said that Binger was founded in 1853 and its headquarter is located at Le Locle of Switzerland, these are not true, they made up the story, actually many watch brands in China like Binger has such a fake backstory, as a Chinese, I feel embarrassed when reading such a fake story because they are cheating customers.

I did some research online and found that Binger was owned by a e-commerce company in China, besides Binger watches, I know they are selling a lot of other luxury goods, don’t be surprised, this is normal for most e-commerce companies in China. Ok, now you have a brief understanding of Binger’s background, let’s see this watch from them. We more care about a watch’s quality.

It is from “Hao Yue” series of Binger, the watch comes with a stainless steel bracelet, while they shipped one extra black leather band to me, many thanks. After wearing the watch for several days, I am satisfied with its quality, the case polishing, bracelet finish and dial design are all good.

The Binger watch is completely made with stainless steel, the polishing on the stainless steel case and bracelet is very good, when I received the package and get the watch in my hand, I said “Wow”, it worth the money I spent. The case has a diameter of 42mm and thickness of 13mm, not very thick for me, it is acceptable for most people.

Besides the top quality finish on case and bracelet, this Binger watch also has a good sapphire crystal face, which is highly scratch resistant, their salesperson said that they did an experiment on the sapphire crystal on every Binger watch, use a knife to scratch on the surface and there won’t be any scratches, well, to prove that, I did not do that on my watch.

The blue dial looks amazing, I know you noticed the double opening windows, but I was attracted by its sun-ray texture on the dial, it looks unique and indeed adds scores to the entire watch. The two opening windows on the dial, one is placed between 4:00 and 5:00, the other is positioned between 7:00 and 8:00, both are not tourbillon devices but are displays of double balance wheel. Each balance wheel has one support fixed on the dial with blue screws, this enhance the stability of the entire movement. Under 12 o’clock, date and moon phase are displayed, the small silver hand is indicating current date, the moon phase rotates once a month.

Now I understand the reason for high price of this watch, the following elements are all necessary:
Top-level case and bracelet finish
Double balance wheel movement
Date and moon phase functions
Highly scratch-resistant sapphire crystal

Overall, this is a good watch, but I think this Chinese watch should’t use “Swiss” to advertise, if watches’ quality is good, everyone will know. By the way, Binger only sell watches on the internet, they do not have stores in any countries.
