 I am planning a trip at the Manufacture quite soon, to write the " making of " this fabulous watch. There are so many things to say about each of its complications that making an horological autopsy is mandatory. 

I already have a good number of pictures of both versions, but I want to take a bit more, in different situations, and to have some close ups of the dial(s) and movement. Without forgetting the case!

So, to help you to wait, here is one of them, featuring the white dialed version, which, I can already say, is my favorite version. 




This watch is such a Masterpiece! 

Best,

Nicolas

I like the design of the case to conceal the true depth.

The best feature of all, to me, is the dimensions. To remind everyone, JLC’s website list this watch as 43 mm x 14 mm and it has 50 m of water resistance. It can be worn outside the safe room and should be worn! I’m in disbelief of those specs, particularly the 14 mm. If true, it has to be on the shortlist for the big prizes this year.

or an apartment or residence LOL πŸ˜πŸ‘ But again, anything is possible which scares me 😀 Imagine justifying it to the wife. Here is how the conversation would go: Wife : Did you sell one of our apartments? Me : Yes, but you will not believe the opportunity I got in return. Look at this AMAZING piece of art on my wrist. Wife : I am calling our accountant and lawyer immediately. Me : But baby, you did not even look at the watch nor listen to the chimes. It is truly breath-taking. Wife : You can liste
