It's an Easter Egg of sorts from Michel. He's quoted as saying that he always dreamed of developing his own movement, and the dream kind of lived in the clouds, so he put one into his first manufacture caliber. I always wondered about the bridge to the left of the escapement as it seems like an homage to the 1890 pocket watch movement he created for Breguet in the '90s, itself a kind of homage to the pocket watches from Abraham Breguet himself. It's no secret he had a huge influence on Michel and you start to see these little things here and there. Not sure if they are intentional or they come out as a natural extension of his admiration.

but the dial layout of this one, with smaller date and power reserve, and with the two semicircular minutes tracks on each side is very pleasing! And what a beautiful movement too. Have a nice coffee and reading time!
I don't think I've ever given that model enough credit.
Quite beautiful, dial and movement. BTW, do you want me to tell you how the story ends?
Exactly how many
internal angles are on that movement🤔 i don’t know much about movements but its like the watchmaker was on steroids!! Regardless your watch is incredible 👌🏻
Thanks much!
The movement bridges were once described to me as cloud-like. I think it's an apt description. Thanks again, xxn.
