It’s been done before, of course, but I had to try it again today. The two sides of the Chronometre Bleu both deserve to be seen. With quick-release straps it is easy to make the magic happen!

Took a drive today while taking the pictures.

Indeed both sides of the CB are gorgeous. An expensive alternative would be to wear two CBs, one dial side and one movement side.😁
