A tourbillon that harkens back to an early pocketwatch that he made:
And his new Inverse calibre, which makes his natural escapement much more visible:

It's nice, but the seconds subdial swirl is going the wrong way for me.
Open a jar of honey. Insert a fork into the honey and turn the fork clockwise around and around. Note the direction of the swirls in the honey. This is the way the swirl should go. Just my opinion.
I think it would have worked better if...
...the minutes 'ring' weren't jammed up tight against the top of the case. It also would result in less empty space above 'hand made.'
Not a mistake at all
This is a very deliberate aesthetic choice that works beautifully for me. But to each their own of course!
Hope they post more high res shots of the new inverse!
I am a big sucker for frosted gold. Looks great on both watches. The new Inverse movement looks even better than I thought it would! 50/50 on the guilloche on the back but it can all be customized anyways I suppose
+1!
Agreed, one of the best-looking tourbillon movements I've seen. The open-dial is also gorgeous.
Actually I had expected more, it being a tourbillon
A relative bargain compared to a Smith Series 1!
C'mon my friend......
we all know you have 300k in your back pocket or under your pillow! )
Neither!
I would need to sell all my watches and resign myself to one watch! I don't have enough discipline to do that yet!
