shows the Tourbillon Souverain introduced in 1998. If anyone can find an earlier work, please chime in.

Ikepod started in 94, so as said before, suppose Ikepod was earlier [nt]

This is a great question...

I dont know but I learned something new today: "biomorphic tapered hands" [nt]

I guess it is Ikepod first...

you'll see similar influence on Sarpaneva hands too.

However, size and length are actually quite different... Would be interesting how FPJ would react to that question... 👍🏻😉

Just to be clear: I like both brands and don't mind which was the first. [nt]

I say IKEPOD, but of course not all IKEPODs have those hands

Solaris KAWS edition Manatee Cazalea ...  

Who did it better would be more my thought. First, is not always best. [nt]

True. I think on that point there is no need to argue that it is FPJ. [nt]

 
 By: LX (Alex) : May 22nd, 2019-21:43

Ikepod, I would bet on that. [nt]
