That "Septagraph" look is intriguing...
... I am very curious. Very nice looking. Having such a wide range of products, luck her! Ken
Septagraph
Actually, it is quite easy. Every day but not at the same time (the subdial displays these time slots), the 90mn countdown starts. You have to dedicate these 90mn just for you, just to think about your life, a blessing time just for you. A true hedonist w...
From a Long-Ago Press Release
That Borgeaud sent me back in June of 2011 when the watch was announced. It is PR, so don't blame me for the florid prose! a Watchmaking and astronomy, as we know, have been related since the dawn of time. Among all the calendars conceived by humanity, th...
Dear Horo..
My understanding is that the 12 o'clock crown is used to wind the watch and to set the time. Both zones are set thanks to pushers. It is obvously a Dimier Tourbillon, this watch is a kind of evolution of the Harry Winston Z5 which also uses a Dimier movem...
Q2 ...I assume the outer ring goes anti clockwise and inner ring goes opposite?
Do you have a movement shot? Best, Horo
Q3 - the "Chinese" horoscope looking DeBethune....
I counted 20 symbols surrounding the inner dial with a weird looking dragon motif.....does it do anything but tell time? Love the sapphire glass hands...stroke of genius, really. Best, Horo
Its a Mayan calendar Horo...
To commemorate this year s end of...the world. Sublime dial,one of the finest I have seen lately,nothing moves but boy there is a lot to look at... LE of 12 obviously,so this is a very rare wristshot...... Same caliber of the DB25 manual with mirror finis...
Is it the end of the world already or again??
Well, hope it happens after SalonQP, which I will be attending again this year. Will see you circa 9th Nov, and posting a general notice in HoMe soon. Will be part work part play for me, and visiting my Alma Mater Bristol again. PM you. Best, Horo
Mo answered you properly!
At least while dying, you will be able to enjoy the beautiful hands of the watch. ;) Fx
Oh dear this is a real orgy....
Fantastic collection of wrist shots!! You said its an exhibition?Is it a new shop in town or a distributor? My fav for sure The DB28 lim edition with black moon,just amazing....,the DB Mayan calendar,and Kari vingt 8 with that blue these 3 I could close ...
Ekaterina is a distributor
She doesn't have a boutique but she has a galery which can be visited by appointment. Fx
This kind of Horology
on this level of quality makes me seriously believe that watchmaking is one of the true metal art if not the most true art of metal.... Thanks For sharing Fx. Faisal
I wouldn't be able to choose only one if I had to,
must have been a tough day Fx, I don't envy you at all! Thanks for these pictures, I hope to see some of them in November in Paris. Cheers, Mark
Add up: my feedback
I've just seen this exhibition today and I must say I'm still in my dreams ... I've seen for the first time the DB Maya : incredible work, so precise and beautiful (I understand it's the work of a well known engraver in Switzerland and that she carried on...
Only you dear FX
can make such post :) Just mind blowing!!! That Mayan DeBethune ...... You have one very lucky wrist Best regards Damjan
Thanks for the report FX
I had the good fortune of visiting this exhibition just after it opened, and was given a comprehensive showing of these masterpieces by Mrs Sotnikova. Once again I was struck by the realisation that photographs, no matter how expertly taken, cannot begin ...
So many pieces to love...
... just like an orgy... FX - are you kidding me? Unbelievable pix! What is the deal with that Gronenfeld One Hertz? Wow! Does that mean the second hand is a dead beat? The DB (second one) looks like it might also remote control the spaceship that belongs...
