SJX also confirmed this on his website directly from UN
A video of the behaviour of the retrograde minute hand of the Grand Deck Tourbillon
The controlled speed of the retrograde hand is truly eye-catching... this visual rendering is achieved thanks to the use of nanowires which act like on a sailing boat! Click on the bottom image! Fx...
Interesting
I do not know why but when I saw this UN, I immediately thought about the VC retrograde Saltarello ref. 43041
It is without any doubt one of the talking pieces of Basel
I'm less convinced by the design to be frank with you. But what a mesmerizing hand! Fx
Such a lovely retrograde action...
..my concern would be that, while driving at the turn of the hour, I would surely veer off the road trying to get a good view of it!
What did he do exactly on this watch?
I mean, did he specifically work on the rerograde hand system? Thanks. Fx

Well, thanks.
It is strange to have this kind of confirmation directly from the players since for contractual reasons they many times stay silent... Fx
Setting this thing
Would drive me absolutely insane. While it is a cool feature and motion, waiting for the minute hand each hour is not exactly time efficient (pun intended).
yes, unique to my knowledge.
I don't remember having seen a slow-mo retrograde hand before. Thanks. Fx
Yes it is true Mitch.
It is due to the behaviour of the nanowires I suppose. Thanks. Fx
