Cool beans. Have never handled one.
Funny about the security guard :)

Hard to believe that you would have to make the choice between buying that watch or a Ferrari!

Maybe, like Breitling, they throw in a free hat at that $271k price point

Ha ha.

It really was funny 'cos I'd been in the store probably an hour trying on all kinds of 5-50k watches and the big guy just sat next to the door, the minute the assistant took me over to the case with that watch he was on me like flies on poo

I tried on a Patek tourbillon on a few years ago it was more then my condo.

Nice, but it does not sing to me. Fun, nonetheless!

TSW · 7 March 2012, 04:18 PM

One nice piece for sure

Wonder how it feels like?

I greatly admire Renaud et Papi and AP for their work with high complications (such as the tourbillon)...but not a huge fan of this watch in particular. Still, a cool piece to check out for sure!
