The square base of the hands tells of quality...

It is those small details, that makes me love this watch (and I’ve always been a fan of asymmetric designs). It is a pity, for me, that this price range is so out of my reach. And even if it were at my reach, I don’t think I could justify to myself spending so much on an object - no matter how watch crazy I am. Nevertheless, it is without a question, a beauty to be desired and dreamed of.
Thank you for the review!

Perhaps a pale violet on the hands would work?

Thank you for sharing these excellent photographs. For this type of watch, I find I am appreciative of the thick aspect ratio, together with the domed sapphire. A sense of robustness is bred into the design. The way it sits on your wrist looks a bit odd, ...
This looks like early prototype of Journe tourbillon

and also a reminiscent of Jean Baptise-Voit's chronometre. Maybe this is the French style . Very old world charm, I like. But as a new watchmaker, why make this tourbillon when it is not exactly very special, with no remontoir or anything new. Maybe I'm m...
