Hybris Mechanica Grande Sonnerie in Singapore this weekend

Hybris Mechanica Grande Sonnerie in Singapore this weekend (as well as some possible shopping?)

Looks like a fun and enlightening weekend for me. Two weeks ago, (while playing with the lovely Duomètre à Sphérotourbillon prototype in stainless steel) the kind folks at the JLC Boutique in Singapore invited me for a hands-on with this set of exquisite horology, the 3 piece set - Hybris Mechanica.

Hello all, I've just gotten back home from the boutique. As Amanico says, it's a sensational experience, that even non-watch lovers can appreciate due to the nature of the pieces. I explained it as going to a museum, to appreciate art, even knowing it's u...
