I'm quite speechless right now, this piece is absolutely incredible!

How was it on your wrist Thomas? May I ask the size of the case?

So whats the point with a double tourbillion? Is it supposed to be more accurate or is it just a fancy feature? In that case, can you get a quatro tourbillion, I see some space left on the dial seriously: thanks for sharing, it must have been fascinating. Breguet really knows how to make a dial.

So the dial/bezel ring spins, instead of the hands? Thats kinda cool... On another note, $440,000 dollars will buy you a BIG house down here in Texas.

x2. Breguet really has an incredible attention to detail and quality on their dials and on the watch generally.

Beautiful!
