This is a beast of a watch (that means good).

I guess the Agenhor pixie dust is priceless but then the design of the dial, case and bracelet is also very very well done.
I’m not a technical guy but the idea that the chronograph is engaged using mere friction (as opposed to teeth) is something that for some reason has really captured my attention. Is this the first time something like this is done (I know this movement is used in two other watches, but is there another chronograph like this?).
And then the rotor being hidden behind the dial therefore allowing us to see all the good stuff, super. Sounds fairly obvious in terms of an idea but it’s not something we are seeing elsewhere.
Lastly all the hands centrally mounted makes for one of the cleanest chronograph there is.
This is a real heavyweight, the movement has been acknowledged as such when it was used by Faberge first and then Singer.
Anyone have any technical insight that could explain to us in layman’s terms how good or innovative this movement really is?
