Quick shots of some of the P10 beauties when they were in town recently

Please excuse the unsightly reflections that mar their beauty.

The Kari Voutilainen - the basket weave really makes it stand out. The watch has an elegant presence that is enhanced with its ultra fine finish.

The Ludovic Ballouard Upside Down - this watch is really amazing. Really enjoy how the hour jumps at the precise moment when the minute hand passes 12. Such a well thought-out watch! Even the consave case side presents your reflections upside down!

The DeWitt Twenty-8-Eight Tourbillon - truly a 'tangible' piece. I appreciate in particular how much depth the dial has. I've always appreciated 'solid' pieces like this and it's really stunning in person. Difficult to convey in pictures.

As a friend mentioned, they all looked far better in person than in pictures. I cannot disagree. Thanks for looking and I'm so glad I managed to see these beauties!
