Some fresh pictures taken at the Manufacture, with my " patent pending photo set up ", WITHOUT flash. 

So, to make it clear, I used A4 paper to avoid the reflections on the bezel, case and lugs, but no flash nor paper on the top, just natural light. 






The Unique Travel Time is my second favorite Duomètre, for its friendly and very sophisticated complication, and for its aesthetics. 

It also existed in white gold with the same white grained dial for the Paris Boutique Edition ( 100 pieces ) and with a chiseled dial ( 200 pieces ). 

The one I am hunting is the Paris Boutique Edition, but I cannot deny that the rose gold has a lot of charm and offers a warm contrast the white gold doesn't have. 

Best,

Nicolas

Natural lighting all the way! At least, that's how I always felt, I look at the watch myself in natural light most of the time, so why would I base my impressions on 'studio set-ups'! Also, that version is totally my favorite, and I am specifically referring to the 'drop-dead gorgeous' Paris boutique edition .... That would truly be a major 'catch' . Cheers, Filip

...it reminds me of my days art directing photo shoots and coming up with ways to light the product. Back in the 'old days' everything had to be captured on film. No Photoshop do-overs : )

Also, again love that splendid WS of yours ! - And yes, a true grail piece.. Best, hs PS: - But guess for the moment, I might need to stay modest, always truly appreciating my beloved black dialed Duomètre à Chronographe, a piece I happily share with you, my dear friend !
