just order or buy one now!

thinking not only about example #3 of your pictures but the others as well.

I am indeed talking about Example Three, This one of Vianney's major works - the Pt Antiqua - which I am actually wearing right now.

What he needs is orders and a certain understanding well beyond those who are comparing price/value concepts within a collector's market to the real, whole-important thing.

He does not want to have his masterpieces cast into the murky sea of collectors and investors, like "pearls before the swine" - not his but a biblical phrase - or into an increasing speculative market, but to make them accesible to those with the means and who can share his vision and can truly appreciate them for what they are - with no humility -- including myself!

A work of art can (and should be) greatly inspired. But can it inspire me - as a creative person?

Does it do something within my deep, personal, angst-driven Persona? The Antiqua shows time, the cycles of time, and lives on its own - and affects me deeply, living along and internally alone, as all of us finally have to do!

Other watches show Themselves - and little else, often not even with the correct, readable, presentable time.

of the first watch in you post? I don't think I have ever seen anything like it. Do you have any straight on pics? Thanks, Stewart

This is Beat Haldimann's H1 flying central tourbillon. Hand made without the use of CNC machines. The large balance and tourbillon cage set up a type of resonance and the watch literally 'sings'. And then you should have a look at the H2 Resonance and H8 ...

When watches that are clasically styled and conservative have a hole cut in the dial in order to show a tourbillon, it ruins the dial in my opinion. This works, though. The dial is not interupted due to the mechanism being on top of it and centrally locat...

H1 ThePuristS Edition

 
 By: MTF : December 21st, 2010-22:48
If you look carefully, the H1 illustrated is a special tribute edition and not "just an ordinary H1" There are modifications inspired by PuristS. One clue is the red font for numerals I, VII and VIII as the lucky numbers 1-7-8 for PuristS. Regards, MTF Th...  

So is this a IGOTT special ?

 
 By: dreamer8 : December 21st, 2010-22:52

No: it was a very limited edition

 
 By: MTF : December 21st, 2010-22:55
some years back for a few PuristS....rumour is there were 5. It is amazing what some wine, whisky and cigars can do to stimulate conversation with the watchmaker present...... Regards, MTF

oops, thanks for clarification MTF

i got ahead of myself thinking it is a IGOTT limited series.
