That won’t surprise you as you know my tastes but the element of this watch I love the most is its Aventurine dial

Nevertheless, I regret that all the sub dials are too concentrated and a too small ExoTourbillon for the case size of this timepiece in my opinion.
It’s a little bit like if Montblanc didn’t know which element of its watch they wanted to highlight (Aventurine, Tourbillon, sub date dial...).
This dial mainly lacks of “breathing” for me. A better layout and it would have been much much better in my opinion. My two cents.
Best wishes

Not just thorough, but you make interesting points when you compare the watch under the microscope with others from the same brand; or with similar complications.
That's not cosmic dust

KMII, Thanks for the review. When I saw the photo, my initial though was: "He should have wiped the dust off the glass," Then, I realised it was not dust on the glass but the cosmic highlights on aventurine dial. I like the Rieussec chronograph layout tha...
Thanks for your thoughts, MTF!

Definitely agree with you in your verdict - fun piece for special moments! And on the issue of the tourbillon being a tad distracting while not harming the chronograph readability at the same time.
