Thanks, mon ami. Found the good lighting while sitting at home and took the shot.......

Apart from hand winding chronograph with horizontal clutch, automatic perpetual calendar with mini rotor is my another favorite.

Apart from the charming blue dial, I also like the case, which looks thinner on wrist than its actual thickness. Due to cleverly designed case.
