The National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors (NAWCC) February 2016 eHappenings Newsletter has just reported that "Swiss engineer Christoph Laimer has built an open-source hardware, 3-D
printed watch with a tourbillon mechanism, uploading it to Thingiverse for you to print and assemble yourself."
Thingiverse is a 3-D printing file sharing site.
For more information, the blog Hodinkee gives an in depth review of this groundbreaking, innovative engineering design. Worth a read by horological hobbyists and engineers.
