Peacock Black Hole Central Tourbillon Watch Review
Humans are insignificant, yet we have a divine nature. We live on the three-dimensional Earth, yet our hearts yearn for the mystical cosmos. Since ancient times, we have been full of curiosity about the universe, making all kinds of guesses and trying all kinds of methods to explore the mysteries of the universe. Wormholes, black holes, the legendary Planet X, higher dimensions, quantum entanglement, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle…
Established in 1957 and located in Dandong, Liaoning Province, China, Peacock watches has always maintained its original aspiration of pursuing exquisite design and outstanding craftsmanship, focusing on being a high-end Chinese watchmaker.
Today, I have received the new Avant series wristwatch "Black Hole" launched by Peacock in 2023. As the name suggests, it is a watch inspired by black holes. When our domestic brand collided with black holes, let's take a look at the result together! (Model PBG0101.03)
Tumblr media
Looking closely at this watch, there is a kind of 4D stereo realistic feeling. At first when I saw this watch, I didn't understand the deeper meaning and had a feeling of "unknown terror".
Tumblr media
Since I saw the design inspiration, I suddenly saw the orbital lines of planets, nebulae, black holes and so on in the universe, which is very appropriate.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The watch case is made of 904L stainless steel, containing 25% nickel and 4.5% molybdenum. Compared with 316L steel, 904L stainless steel has stronger corrosion resistance and anti-oxidation ability. The dial diameter is 46 mm. The shape is not like a traditional watch, but has an innovative arched design that gradually tightens, matched with a domed sapphire crystal, and coated with 5 layers of anti-glare film underneath, with a light transmittance of over 91%. With a 30° bevel combined with 2mm fillets, it conforms to ergonomic design. This makes me think of a phrase "the human body is a small universe", meaning that our bodies are small universes. I believe that not only human bodies, but everything inside anything with or without life is a small universe. For example, the shape and design of this watch is like a singularity or great mystery inside a black hole.
Tumblr media
As the light turns, the outer ring of the dial moves like planetary orbits. We see the brand's English letters marked at the 6 o'clock position, surrounded by radial lines, which greatly enhances the sense of layering of the watch visually. When the watch starts working, it's like the various substances next to the black hole that are not the observable boundary, but the edge of the black hole. This sunken design has a feeling of devouring everything.
Tumblr media
The green on the inner ring of the dial is made of a whole new Peacock nebula forged carbon. It needs to be formed at a high temperature of 2400°C and a high pressure of 7500N/cm2, incorporating luminescent particles into the carbon fiber. The unique texture is like dark matter flashing and flowing in the universe, each piece being unique in the world, and it is as magnificent as a vast nebula.
Tumblr media
The most eye-catching thing in the middle of the dial is this central tourbillon. I have always believed that the tourbillon is the coolest and most complex function in watches. Whether you are a watch expert or not, you must know more or less that just hearing this name has a kind of steadfast, faith-like feeling.
There are several types of tourbillons, the most common being the Breguet tourbillon (with a bridge), the flying tourbillon, and the spherical tourbillon… Visually, I personally prefer the flying tourbillon, the design without a bridge looks more flexible and free. The cage must be slender yet sturdy, otherwise it will affect the life of the mainspring. The cage of the central tourbillon of this Peacock Black Hole weighs only 0.46 grams!
Tumblr media
Flipping the watch over, we see the brand's pattern engraved on the crown. The case thickness is 12.5 mm. For a complicated function, this thickness is moderate.
Tumblr media
When I saw the lume of this watch, I was really amazed by it! It's so beautiful! What you see as the two white lights on the dial surface are the hands of this watch, the blue light is the scale ring, and the green and black ring is made of forged titanium. The effect at night is very much like people's understanding of black holes, a pitch black universe, with a black hole emitting faint light far away, which is the most fascinating yet most dangerous.
Tumblr media
The brand equips the watch with a aerospace-grade fluorine rubber strap that conforms to ergonomics and is comfortable to wear, unaffected by sweat and temperature changes.
Tumblr media
The watch is equipped with a Peacock independently developed SL-5711P tourbillon movement, with 196 parts. The tourbillon cage weighs only 0.46 grams. Thanks to the four barrels' continuous stable output, the power reserve of this watch reaches 120 hours, 5 days, which is quite worry-free to wear. The movement polishing is also interesting. The "Geneva stripes" vortex caseback and fully transparent design, with neatly arranged jewel bearings, are like lonely stars sucked into a black hole, quiet and infinite, tending towards eternity.
Tumblr media
In summary: The design of this Peacock Black Hole watch is novel, the technology is advanced, and the aesthetics and functionality are quite impressive overall. The official retail price of the watch is $3,750. Compared with Swiss mainstream brand tourbillons, the price is very attractive. It comes in three colors: deep black, stellar blue and nebula green as shown in this text.

one of my favourite things about Jodie's performance as the doctor is that she is always Moving. She's always using big, overt stage gestures. Always fiddling or shifting. Movement is such a huge part of her portrayal of the character to the point that it's So constant that you barely notice she's always moving after a while.
Of course, this is brilliant because it throws such Stark contrast on those few moments where she is still. Where she is a statue. Where you can feel the fury radiate off of her, judgemental and terrifying.
The physical acting is just *chef's kiss*

I am baffled that this fucking crusty ass rat lookin white boy named fucking WILDER isn’t the worst one on Couple to Throuple
I hated him the moment I laid eyes on him. I hated his fucking rat face. I hated his bottle blonde mullet. I hated his crusty mustache. And when his partner Corey started talking about him having crossed boundaries before, I -really- hated him
I’m only on episode 6 or 7 I think, and he has actually surprised me. He and their additional partner, Denyse, have been really good about taking things at Corey’s pace. And making sure to reassure Corey that going slow and setting boundaries isn’t ruining their dynamic
Wilder actually said, out loud “You not voicing your concerns WILL ruin the night, because then you’ll be uncomfortable and we won’t know. That’s how boundaries get crossed”
Wilder and Corey are also the only couple who have stuck with the same partner through the entire process. All the other couples have swapped at least once. Which is fine, and the point of the show. But it feels really superficial and gross when the couples talk about their temporary partners like they are objects for their pleasure and convenience.
Wilder and Corey at least seem to understand that polyamory goes beyond the physical. Though I do giggle because it seems like Denyse is way more into Corey than Wilder. And Corey is way more into Denyse. And Wilder seems content being their third wheel
Real “this is my girlfriend, Corey, and her girlfriend, Denyse” energy. But they seem to understand that polyamorous relationships, especially closed triads like this, don’t have to be 100% equitable all the time. People are naturally going to have deeper connections with some folks and not others. Doesn’t mean they don’t all care for one another. Nobody can post anything on SM until after the reunion, which is understandable. But I’d be interested to know if they’re still a triad (closed or open) or if they’ve all gone their separate ways
I’m really just here for Maximo and Ash at this point, because they’re the queer energy this show needs. And you could instantly see how relaxed the singles were around both of them
Tumblr media
Both are non-binary, pan, and have experience with polyamory, though individually and not as a couple (which is how I think this show should have been structured to begin with)
They’re messy and silly and a touch toxic, but who isn’t on this show?
The ones I -really- fucking despise are the swinger couple looking to just have threesomes
Tumblr media
Fucking humiliating their additional partners for not wanting to immediately get physically intimate, let alone fuck, within the first hour of meeting. Treating additional partners like playthings to be shelved when they’re bored and picked back up at their convenience. Mocking additional partners for setting boundaries and voicing concerns. Mocking additional partners for having feelings and thoughts and hopes and dreams. The, frankly, disgusting dynamic of centering Dylan as the UltraSigmaAlphaBro with two women hanging off him. I hope his dick falls off from all the steroids. And his wife Lauren is no better
They never should have been cast
Tumblr media
Ashmal and Rehman are MESSY. And totally using their partner Johnathan to triangulate their pre-existing issues. These two need locked in a room until they actually discuss their issues
Ashmal has never taken Rehman to meet his family. Hasn’t spoken with his family about Rehman, nothing. And they keep bringing thirds in to ignore the real problems
Messy, under the covers handjobs don’t solve rifts in your relationship, yall. A two legged table cannot stand
Tumblr media
And I have no fucking clue why Brittne and Sean are here. They don’t seem into each other, let alone an additional partner. They’re constantly running away from criticisms and difficult discussions. They ignore their partners and shut down their concerns. Brittne made it absolutely clear she is to be the queen bee of the group, to be catered to
Which isn’t how a healthy duo works. Let alone a triad
Idk this show has a LOT of flaws. But if they do a second season, I think the singles should have all the agency and focus, not the couples. Gimme a group of like 15 poly/pan/fluid folks and let me watch them form their own polycules
Because if I have to listen to another straight man giggle about threesomes, I’m gonna go into my back yard and eat dirt until the rage stops
I really wish Becca, one of the more prominent singles, had warned the rest of the group about Dylan and Lauren just looking to be swingers. That would have added so much more interest for me
Like how are the singles going to approach them about their toxic and gross behavior? Will the couple grow and learn and change when confronted with this? (No but we’d have fun watching them flounder and cry that no one wants to fuck them, let alone go home with them)
