The design is nice, but I have some problems with this release.

Firstly, if they are going to boast about the "finishing's" (sic) on their movements, they should take more care with the finishing of their press release. Superfluous apostrophes remind me of metal burrs on movement bridges, as does a superfluous "i" in "tourbillon".

Secondly, a bit of perlage on movement plates doth not "exquisite finishing" make. I might be slightly more impressed if they had bothered to apply some anglage to this "skeletonised" movement.

Thirdly, I wonder whether the seconds subregister turns with the rest of the movement - I'm sure it does. In which case, how do you read it? And if you can't really read it (by which I mean, if it doesn't tell you how many seconds past the minute the time is), what use is it?

Apart from that, I suppose it's nice enough.

Cheers
