Need legitimate reason for doing unusual

Unfortunately, I am not fully convinced this is that much attractive to me.

When I see the pic of the movement, I can see lots of dead spaces. Needless to say, space is highly precious for wrist watches. Hope the reason to put the balancewheel on unusual space is to pursue accuracy, not to just waste limited and precious space of the wristwatch.

 You might say watch making in the 21st century is a game to have fun. Yes, mechanical watch is not a pure technology nowadays. This is a game.

Also, we have to say a game without rule is just chaos and not fun.

As long as I concern, the rule of the (wrist) watch making should be pursuing accuracy or balance of accuracy and durability in the limited space.  Unfortunately, I can find the strong will to win that kind of legitimate game.

 Yes, it looks a very good watch.

It has a very beautiful movement (especially wheel train. I can hardly see the gear wheels that thick and have deep tooth in this modern watch making).

 Also, balance and finishing of the outfit of this watch is very well done. Surface of the case is pretty flat. The balance of the height of clearance of crystal and dial is well designed. The structure of the case side that is made like ditch looks the watch thinner than real height. As a wearable machine and as a owner see the watch, it might not make any discomfort (or of course, it might give a pleasure).

 Because I can feel the very high-level craftsmanship, I expect something beyond my expectation that follows legitimate horological rule.

Again, I may be wrong. But so far....I am going to stick my head out and say: " if you have always liked classical rounds, and Patek styled works, or Journe's beautiful architecture...then THIS watch is something to seriously consider. And..I will dare sa... 

Very impressive !

I am a rather conservative collector and never really like the previous MB&F designs. But this one blows me away! Unfortunately, I will have to admire it from afar.

The architecture of this watch reminds me a modern bridge or something And the balance is an UFO landing on it!

When they mean "Up/Down" for the power reserve, they actually mean up and down.
