Visit with Kari -- a few initial photos

Greetings to all!   I wanted to post a few quick photos before heading out of town on business tomorrow.  Topic is the comparison between the steel "all white" and titanium "all black" Observatoires, shown below.

Apologies for the image quality -- Kari was kind enough to let me take these, but I didn't want to take all day doing so! 

 White and black, side by side:

CL's steel watch:

Reverse of the two watches.  Note the difference in balance cock finishing and the absence of engraving on the rear bezels.  Also, both of these watches have the tourbillon balance bridge rather than the traditional one.  Finally, even in this blurry image the quality of the finishing is apparent -- look at the glow on the tops of the mainspring barrels!

Thanks to Kari for letting me take these -- more images from the visit and a more complete report later in the week when I return.

Best,

Gary G
