This looks like early prototype of Journe tourbillon
and also a reminiscent of Jean Baptise-Voit's chronometre. Maybe this is the French style 
. Very old world charm, I like.
But as a new watchmaker, why make this tourbillon when it is not exactly very special, with no remontoir or anything new. Maybe I'm missing something here.
The overall presentation doesn't look like it is worth over $100k, at least not now based on his current new reputation. He is not Jean Baptise-Voit, not Vianney or Rehexpi...
I find the asking price a bit steep and he may lose steam fast.
We must first understand that for Mr Journe's and Vianney's old watches to reach its current sky rocket pricing, he had proven many what they are made of and that creates a huge respect and desire.
But for a new comer to create a watch that I don't think is particularly original and at this price point, I think it will be a very difficult path.
Just my opinion as I will not spend my money on this watch but obviously others may. Time will tell. One thing for sure, now I desire Jean Baptise-Voit's work
Hands on review of Theo Auffret's Tourbillon in Paris (Tourbillon à Paris)
The trend is confirmed: France gradually regains its place as a country that counts in the world of high-level watchmaking. What gives me the greatest pleasure is that this growing credibility is the result of the work of young watchmakers, which augurs w...
What beautiful movement, love it.
I was a little bit scared that it was going to be too big for my taste, I'm happy I was wrong. If I could, I would buy it, that's how much I like it. I'd ask for some small changes though. Thanks for sharing. Vte
The square base of the hands tells of quality...
It is those small details, that makes me love this watch (and I’ve always been a fan of asymmetric designs). It is a pity, for me, that this price range is so out of my reach. And even if it were at my reach, I don’t think I could justify to myself spendi...
So many sweet little details and thers some serious wealth around the world
Also a safe bet that most of the potential buyers allready have a few watches in that price bracket. Intersting piece that ill likely only see photos of.
Very true
On both accounts. There’s some wealth around and collectors willing to use it for pieces as beautiful as this. Thankfully that is the case, as otherwise we would never see watches like this being crafted.
Perhaps a pale violet on the hands would work?
I had a Chronoswiss with these hands. Or the grey-blue at right below in SJX’s assortment photo: Or the experimental Ming buckles? My pocket watch hand assortment has lots of color options. Cazalea ...
Beautiful work!
Thank you for sharing these excellent photographs. For this type of watch, I find I am appreciative of the thick aspect ratio, together with the domed sapphire. A sense of robustness is bred into the design. The way it sits on your wrist looks a bit odd, ...
