Independents

Thanks for posting this; it's nice to hear about what the independents are up to.  Here's the inner monologue that I heard as I read it...

"Gosh, that's interesting.  A triple tourby, with a differential, so that the three spinning thingummies which are supposed to even out the effects of gravity actually spin round each other and even out that selfsame evening out...hmmm...I wonder how if that makes it more accurate...what if you then put the three in their differential into a group of three with another differential, and so on, then what?  Oh, hey, look, pictures...movement looks well-finished, although the bridges aren't particularly harmonious to my eye...ooh, kinda different hands....now how's the case---OHHH!!!"

I'm afraid it's not to my taste.  Hey, at least there's no date window to drive sticklers like Nicolas and me nuts.  And the two-tone rose gold / white gold model is better than most attempts at two-tone.  But I would (politely) question, for example, the pads of diamonds on the sides of the case; and, from a practical standpoint, the 12 screws holding the case together at the half-hour marks seems confusing.

Best
