Thank you
I also own the RG Insight Micro-Rotor but I think they are quite different dial and movement side.

Another update:
I have seen the L2L measurements of the Origine at ACM website and at 51mm, it is too big for my wrist. Hence I contacted the friendly watchmaker and asked about the possibility to reduce the L2L to 48mm. Within hours, I received a reply that they have also received a few other requests to reduce the L2L and they will machine a batch of short lugs to accommodate all our wrists at no additional cost to us.

I am so impressed and simply cannot imagine that level of service from bigger manufacturers. Sylvain and his team are such a joy to work with. I can't wait to wear my Origine

My pleasure.
Providing another update - during IAMWATCH, I invited Sylvain to a yakitori joint where we chatted a lot about his expanded team, the stopping of the Origine production, skiing, St Croix workshop and other stuff. He also has a blue dial Origine with him and I really like this dial.

We discussed about the various dial colours and how they will integrate with the gold balance bridge, and I will be amending my dial colour after much thoughts. It's not 100% confirmed but the combi should work very well and I too hope one day he brings my Origine to showcase to other aspiring owners in events like this. Will update again of course

I'm those in the minority who prefer watchmakers who stand behind their own products, so the wordings stay

Another update:
Sylvain has rendered a dial colour that goes very well with the rose gold bridge. It is gorgeous and I will go ahead with this new colour.

This change will make my Origine completely different from the one in my 1st post. I don't think there will be further changes following this update. There is a small adjustment to the price due to the effort to get that colour, but to me that's fair.

Yes there is a nice render but sorry I prefer to keep it under wrap until I get my watch. I was told it is a unique combi and I would keep it that way
