A very thorough & impressive review of the Gyro 1 Nicolas.

I have been fortunate enough to view & inspect this ultra complicated piece a few times and once together with the Gyro 2. As tourbillon goes,nothing comes close to it in my books.

Thanks for your input, my friend. We'll see what Future will offer us. Best, Nicolas.

THAT was a masterly review.. Appropriate for these unique pieces ..

Such a marvel always makes me humble, lets me think - what is time, what are moments, - how and what are the people behind such a piece -- - even what are we, where do we come from & where do we go .. Also , I truly enjoyed the explanation of the (Gyro)- Tourbillon, not to speak about the absolutely stunning pics ! Thanks so much ! This , again a post I have bookmarked, to read - and re-read again, a keeper, really. A little personal note be allowed: - Such as I in fact do, re-do, no more: frequ

You're too kind, hs.

It is easy to write something when the watch is great, though. Best, my friend. Nicolas.
