Hi Mike, you know I will never leave a moonphase cat without home!
On the SBGD001, an imprortant precision: the prototype shown in Lyon is made of white gold.
I was told that the alloy contains a decent amount of palladium to make it look like platinum. The watch is strictly identical to a production one in any other aspect.
In the coming days, this model will go to Syndey, so the one that will land in NYC will probably be a regular one.
Now some real-life pics, under the not-so-perfect light conditions in the boutique.
Here is how it looks on my 17 cm wrist:
Fully flat back is what makes the watch sit on the wrist.
Lugs curvature could have been more pronounced.
This dial is versatile to the extreme.
One very special effet is that under certain conditions, the sparkling dots on the dial reflect first on the inside face of the sapphire glass, and then on the hands and index.
Looks like if a piece of starry sky at night was caught in the metallic parts of the dial...
Strong proportions and angles, side bezel integration is a nice interpretation of the grammar of design.
There is still a sticker on the back, hence the grainy reflections on bevelling, looks counter-productive to me...
Someone in Sydney please take this sticker off !!!
Cheers,
D
