Wow, look at the oversized balance wheels, perfectly finished, on these unobtainium Ving8 pieces. I could not find the measurements of these through my search, but they sure look really huge.

Is it just my eyes, or is the balance wheel really large in the Omega moonwatch of 2021?

In 2011, Patek Philippe experimented with the 5550P Perpetual Calender, launching 300 examples of this unique piece, with a different looking Silicon balance spring. Beautiful innit?

On a more affordable spectrum, there was once the Gyrolab balance wheel used for the Geophysic True Second range, which is shaped like 2 anchors. It was developed to reduce the effect of air resistance on the balance wheel. Not sure if it works, but it is pretty mesmerizing to watch.

The balance spring is really big (12.66mm). It is so perfectly crafted. Wow, this has got to be gifted to the best employees of heaven.

Last I've checked, De Bethune produces some of the industry's most beautiful balance wheels (and the bridges that hold them in place). I cannot isolate any single model, because every DB I've held came with a seductive balance wheel. Ouch!
