Hublot Big Bang Minute Repeater & Flying Tourbillon

Hello Friends,

On Wednesday, I discovered JC Biver's latest creation on his wrist: a Big Bang Minute Repeater & Flying Tourbillon (limited edition of 10 watches. Value: 220k€).

The sound is pretty good, and I love the integration of the MR slicer on the case.

Below, few scans of the prototype (missing the index). Sorry for the pics poor quality, taken with my phone smile

Its not the price; Its the units.....

pplater, I'm trying to translate previous opinions in this thread. I think the issue is not 'price' as in currency, to express 'value', which was the original query term in the first posting. When we try to value a watch, we us different units of measurem...  

Beautifully expressed, MTF...

as always. The proposition under reply, from Dje, was: "I feel forced to ask if money is so easily available that someone can pay such a price for such a watch?" but your point is well made and well taken. However, you can keep the puppy... Cheers, pplate... 

Oooooh! I bid +10 PPLU for that piece unique!
