Here we have a minute repeater and a flying tourbillon. Being used to some extraordinary watches from the Manufacture, we could see this HM 11 as a simpler watch.
Not at all!
Here we have several challenges: An ultra thin minute repeater and flying tourbillon, first. Indeed, the case is only 7, 9 mm high. Which makes it the thinner Minute Repeater, currently.
It is even more remarkable when you know that it houses an automatic movement which has the good taste to be magnificent:
I will come back to this one later, with more recent pictures.
