Large scale model of movement?

I am not sure if I am in the right forum...

I am looking for a large scale model of a swiss watch movement. I have seen some of the tourbillion, but I was unable to find out where to purchase, and I really wanted a good looking display model for my mantel.

Plus I would like to get my boys hooked on the beauty of the swiss watch movement. Plus I think it is a thing of beauty and would love to have one to look at.

Something like this: Flying Tourbillon Gangmodell - Escapement model

But preferably of the entire movement.

Any ideas?

I have tried google searches, but all the terms I try give me undesired results.

Maybe a bare movement of some kind in 1:1 scale could serve the same purpose.

I`m guessing the type of thing you`re looking for is either rare or nonexistant.

I have seen these type Escapements before at Watch and Clock Shows, They do exist, however they have always commanded big dollars. Good luck in your search.
