I remember this piece..

I am impressed by the thin case and the simplicity of the dial (no date and no second hand).
The overall impression of the watch is it looks "Regal" and is a very refined timepiece - you can wear it and it will impress no one, unless he/she is someone knowledgeable on watches.
It only tells the time - analogue and minute repeating (audibly).  A very focus wristwatch.
But I am unsure about the "smallish" flying tourbillon cage / balance wheel. 
Don't get me wrong - design wise it looks great on the dial face.
Just wondering what impact the size of a tourbillon cage has on the watch chronometry property?     
I always thought the larger the MoI of the cage/balance the better it is. /W72

Having the good fortune to experience this watch in person

I can attest that despite it’s thinness, the MR was very clear and surprisingly LOUD, and I could barely detect any whirring of the centrifugal weight... if any. I wasn’t expecting it to perform nearly like it did. It really blew my mind to think a super ... 

Had the good fortune to see one in person some time ago...
