Theo Auffret Tourbillon à Paris: Independent Watchmaking

Key Points from the Discussion

• The challenge of photographing the Tourbillon à Paris stems from its varied finishes on the dial side, which reflect light differently. In person, the watch appears less overtly shiny, instead reflecting ambient light across its surfaces.
• One perspective suggests the dial side's high polish or similar finishing across different movement parts can make the dial appear somewhat obscured, though this is acknowledged as a minor critique.
• The finishing, particularly the sandblasted effect on the plates, is a highlight of Auffret's tourbillon, showcasing exceptional artisanal craftsmanship.
