As always, so many models wiih lots of hours poured into by the finest watchmakers.  Although sometimes very big and thick and complicated, busy dial, the craftsmanship is worth applaud nonetheless.  I admire these pieces as the work of art.  If only the prices are a bit more reachable...... smile)


GMT Earth










Back side - the earth is not complete shere so there is a dome on the back side.




Deferential D'Egalite




















And, Mr. Forsey stopped by.



Double Balancier







... in a nicely decorated room....













Super polished inside...















He brought out this which got my attention.



Black side is ADLC on titanium.



Not a novelty, but Tourbillon 24 Seconds Comtemporain in Titanium.  Very, very light, and the size is not gigantic for my wrist.  This may actually got more popular among smallish wrist people.  I asked why they did not make this particular model more - he said, "oh, I had forgotten about this model" !!!  This may come out agai for those who likes a bit smaller ones...



And this is "Mechanical Nano - Episode 2"....







As always, these people think of something normal people like us do not.  Great watchmakers, thinkers, and craftsmanship.

Thank you, Stephen, Sylvain, Emmanuel, and Michel.

That is so true! I just love the three dimensional nature of GF pieces - amazing depth to them.

Every time is like getting into wonderland. The tridimensional architecture of these artworks is absolutely mesmerizing, you could get lost looking at those turbos, the superb anglage, the engraving. watches that you never get tired to admire.

It is true that "these people don't think the same way the rest of us do". That's partly the joy of being with different people, and it can be the part that makes you scratch your head and say "why do they do this!?"

Its hard to get to see these timepieces in real life, just like rare art pieces.. I would greatly appreciate them for their workmanship more than using them for telling time..

I’m fascinated by the GMT Earth, but the DE is the one I really really really want!
