When I had lent them the painting to copy in enamel, I had suggested to them to edit it manually but they did not follow me... LOL

I was in heaven until I saw the backside. The dial, the case, the size and above all the complication are just perfect but then the caliber devaluates this very complete package.

To me it sims that they wanted to emphasize the enamel work not the movement... Automatic minute repeater it’s a no-no for me as well , I prefer manual all day long , somehow the automatic cheapens the watch in my opinion. But with all this faults I would...

That enamel dial with Van Gogh's "Starry Night" is simply breath-taking...
