Thanks Emmanuel. I had not heard of this brand before.
I agree with much of the other sentiments - tourbillon on the backside only is awesome (sort of that Parmigiani "private luxury" idea), finishing is likely top notch, the simple movement bridge is spectacular, and for me, the dial name needs to be scaled down. Overall, looks like a winner!
The 30CT Prototype
Christian Lass unveiled his latest creation a month ago. The 30CT is a one-minute rear tourbillon . The three first photos were taken in the natural light of Philippe Dufour ’s workshop (unfortunately there's no high-res photos available yet)... Prototype...

I'm glad you like it too, Michael!
And I completely agree with you on scaling down the name. Best, Emmanuel
