I would have liked to have viewed them in person.

By: Cpt Scarlet : April 25th, 2021-18:55

Yes. Sadly missed and unlikely to be exhibited again.

Thanks a lot Christian for sharing!

I would have also loved to be able to visit in person!

I know. I got a list of all the pieces on display and there where many more. It’s always special to be able to see them side by side.

Thank you for sharing!

The new limited piece has a very nice grain to the dial. A perfect modern iteration on the original

I agree. It is spectacular! He really brought out a lot of texture and shimmer.

By: ChristianDK : April 25th, 2021-20:37

Sadly not something he is willing to do any more.

Amazing pieces for sure Christian. Would be great to see the exhibition some time in the future 👍

Great to see these, as with many of us I’d wished to have seen this or the Resonance exhibition. There’ll be other events in the future hopefully.

Yes, The resonance exhibition was overwhelming

By: ChristianDK : April 26th, 2021-10:51

A lot of watches you would only ever seen in pictures. I’m sure there will be other possible events in the future.

Thank you for sharing!!

Interesting to see the latest anniversary RDM in the flesh. My first reaction is a very adverse reaction to its crown... just seems soooo weird for it to be so big (not what she said)

I was thinking the same

By: fourtaelsgold : April 26th, 2021-10:36

I wonder why the crown has been upsized. There must be a reason for it.

I was a bit surprised as well

By: ChristianDK : April 26th, 2021-10:54

It’s really a lovely dial

By: ChristianDK : April 26th, 2021-10:52

Agree the crown looks big but remember the watch is 40 mm so perhaps it’s ok o
