I'm very happy with it and I wanted to share!

My collection is finished for now, but we'll see for the future. At the moment, it's nice to enjoy these and see pictures of your watches, too.

Stunning - Congrats!

2 thumbs up on the rest of your collection as well. All you need now is a Greubel Forsey tourbillon to round out your independents.

Some movement shots (please excuse the fingerprints)

The 22k rotor is off-center for extra torque.


You can actually feel (not hear, but feel) the angular momentum (I think I may have that sorta right?) of the rotor when it spins quickly clockwise. The rotor winds counterclockwise and the winding system is very efficient, filling the 5-day reserve much faster than I expected.

I had to take the deployant clasp off for those shots. The CB is easier both for the tantalum pin buckle and the lack of a rotor:
