Hi Harry, that's wonderful, wonderful stuff. As one of those who has voiced reservations

about the use of high tech materials in traditional watchmaking I must admit your pictures make it look awfully good.  By the way, fantastic job capturing the texture of the guilloche; so often in press pictures the high degree of image manipulation done actually flattens out the grain of the engine turned metal which is in fact one of the great attractions of real guilloche work.  Very nicely done indeed and shows not only a mastery on your part of photographic skills but also real discernment in terms of your perception of the qualities of the watch you're photographing, if I may make so bold as to say so.

Cheers and many thanks,

Jack

Despite the widespread publicity and press coverage of silicium, there have been few photos of the watch. - SJX

Even if one dislikes the silicium, the wonderful dial design should more than compensate .
