So glad to see this...
I'm so pleased to see that this watch is now in a museum for all to admire. I was concerned when it was auctioned that it would go to a private collection and would never be seen again. But thankfully it went to a museum where all can admire it if they make the trek to the Vallé. Oh! And I really like that rabbit! The Vallé is truly a Wonderland!

Very, very impressive Museum, Hotel, Archives, Architecture, Watchmaking, People. Very impressive. Cheers, HSTE "Karl" in the museum exhibition Outside the "Founders' Hall" Model of the Hotel des Horlogers (left) to the Museum (right) Inside the museum Th...

But I'm getting there! Thanks for sharing more relevant information.

Thank you. And: YES, I am so glad that …
… it ended up in such an amazing setting. Cheers, HSTE
Astounding brand, astounding place.
I have not yet visited the new museum in person, but hopefully soon.
Wow! Lucky man!
And what a pairing of your 5402 with the house. Thanks for sharing! Peter
Very interesting
Thanks for sharing those great pics. The one that caught my attention the most is the original drawing from Genta, the bolt heads are not aligned, now I wonder, was there ever a model, even a prototype, with such a feature?
Interesting in all skin structures
I hope Mary can find the chemistry with the iconic AP soon. For me there is much to discover. I had a three years ago a bit of a disappointed view on an Oak. It can be the trader put the Oak in a dusty corner where the watch lost the possibility to shine,...
