Just one picture and a link to the review I wrote about that watch, which is a dream for me.

The review:
What to say? The Master Grande Tradition case has been revisited, to get more elegant lines than the previous one. That's for the discrete detail.
Now, more important, the complication: I am dreaming of an astronomical watch without any other complication.
For this one, Jaeger Lecoultre removed the minute repeater of the MGT Grande Complication. I would have gone farther and removed the Tourbillon, too. Ok, this is a flying AND orbital tourbillon ( orbital means that the tourbillon makes one turn each 24 hours ), but still, the sky chart is captivating enough to pass on the tourbillon, in my opinion.
Especially when the dial is so beautiful: Lacquered, guilloché, aventurine, this is a masterpiece, a ticket to dreams, infinity and poetry.
Yes, I would definitely go farther and suggest an astronomical watch " only ", in a beautiful case, with a nicely decorated movement.
It definitely is my favorite watch from the Hybris Artistica collection, which will remain a dream as only three pieces were made.
Best,
Nicolas
