Hi Ken,

Amazing! Congrats on a beautiful watch and love the black dial on the WG edition.

Is the Spherotourbillon next on the roadmap? :)

Cheers,
James

Hi Rich,

I'm sure Ken and others will correct me if I'm wrong, but that subdial should be the foudroyante complication, making a revolution once every second. Since the JLC is 21,600 bph, equates to 6 beats per second, resulting in a dial showing 1 to 6.

Cheers,
James

Now let's be serious, when we talked about it yesterday I somewhat had in mind that you'd do such a thing, I just didn't know it would be so fast!

Congratulations my friend, enjoy both of them!


You should know me by now!! It is a good thing I have a few large safety deposit boxes in bank vualts!!!

Beautiful watches! I'd almost always choose RG over WG, but in this case, that WG just sings brilliantly in every way.
