I just fell from my chair:

Pure Ecstasy!

These beveled, polished sapphire bridges drive me crazy. The level of finishings is breathtaking.

I just saw the Horological Virgin.

Best,

Nicolas

This design really appeals to me...

...it has the nautical, almost steampunk look. I am a sucker for non-round cases. And, as you say, the movements are crazy (in a good way)...

Sure, it is not a consensual design, which is fine, I must say.
