Part 3's pictures were completely messed up….must have to do with the upload, as they appear correctly on my word file. Here the part 3 of the article again. I hope that everything is fine now.

After we managed the put the cal 875 back in "working order" (not quite, but at least back to the initial state), we were rewarded with the sight of something really special: The Duometre a Spherotourbillon
Here we go: This marvelous piece was brought by Mr. Torres for display at this Mastserclass, with the clear order to bring it back to Le Sentier.
Detail of the Spherotourbillon. It is simply stunning and it is difficult to take the eyes of it.

For a review of the Spherotourbillon, please see Nicolas excellent article under http://jlc.watchprosite.com/show-forumpost/fi-2/pi-5102253/ti-767638/s-0/
I could easily get used to it…
Duometre a Quantieme Lunaire and Master Ultra Thin Tourbillon – sorry for the reflections on the picture
Beautiful piece, excellent. Size 40.5 mm, if I am not mistaken
The Master Ultra Thin Tourbillon is very elegant. I am very fond of the clean dial

Afterwards, we were treated to a nice "aperitif riche" – which I forgot to picture resp. I was too busy with the tasty delicacies.
I left at 12.50….it was time to go back home for lunch….
In the mean while, the weather cleared up….
and the summer was back for another day!
Sincere thanks to Mrs. Born of the JLC Boutique in Lucerne, to Mr. Williner, Mr. Stockhammer of Bucherer and Mr. Faessler of Bank Saransin for organizing and hosting the event.
Last but not least a big "thank you!" to Mr. Torres and Mr. Rochat of JLC Le Sentier for teaching us greenhorns patiently for a full morning!
Best,
Stefan
It is always cool to see such fine watches in the same post! The Duometre is, from my point of view, a killing family. I would have passed on the 40.5 mm one, though, or I would have done something else in this smaller case. But this is just my opinion. The Sphero is just startospherical! :) Best, Nicolas
you found the right word - again. Best, Stefan
it's great to see JLC decorating both sides of the movements (which, years ago, they didn't). And Lucerne is such a beautiful town. -Dean
after more than 6 years in Asia. I realize now how good a place this is. You are at a nice place as well BTW, i visited the VI's many years ago. Best, Stefan
Thank you for sharing! :) Best Blomman
