Thanks to all for responding to my post.
Just for interest I'm told that my version was less than 50 pieces. The saddest part though was learning that after the Danish investor take over in 2015 UJ stopped all the inhouse production and instead used outsourced companies to produce all the parts, and UJ themselves merely assembled everything and then boxed them up.

Very much looking forward to finding out where KV is taking the brand to 🤞🏻

Thanks for sharing hub6152 - per your request, here is mine. I was fortunate enough to obtain this limited edition piece last year. I really like applied Breguet numerals. ...
thank you so much - truly gorgeous.
Incidentally I am told by Venla Voutilllainen that they made "less than 50" of my blue dial variant!
