Note of caution...
Hate to rain on the party, but I know two people who have been lucky enough to own this spectacular timepiece...both came back to me with one concern:
When starting, stopping & resetting the Chronograph, do it in one good solid push that thoroughly engages & disengages the function. Both owners noted discrepancies when the seconds counter did not re-align consistently until the button was pushed a few more times, but when done with a solid push, it was fine.
That said, maybe they were unlucky with very early movements that had tiny issues...nothing major, & both also consider it to be one of the finest watches they have ever seen let alone owned....last thing you want is a premature return to the Manufacture!
Regards,
Young

This is not the secondes foudroyantes you are referring to, right?
because you must hold down the button for a long moment until the flying seconds hand resets and re-aligns. But I suspect you are instead talking about the sweep seconds counter, in which case, this is an unfortunate issue.
Good to hear that they shipping
I wonder if it is just the boutique's that have them. Was it yellow or rose gold you got. Would love to see some wrist shots and a small wirte up on how the chrono functions. John
