I played with different settings on Photoshop to get this:








Not a photo, but a real wall paper of a Grail for some of us. 

When we think that this watch is what... 11 years old, it is hard to believe. 

Ok, the case is a bit outdated, but the rest of the watch is a killer. 

Its concept, too: Retrograde Perpetual Calendar, 8 Days, Equation of Time, Gyrotourbillon. Nothing less. 

Enjoy. Admire. 

Best,

Nicolas.

You had me at Retrograde ..

Every thing to admire about the balance and beauty. Add to the beauty the technical marvel and you can't ask for much more. And she does not look a day over 5 years. Bill

It still is at the pinacle of fine horology, in my opinion.

We were in 2004. And at that time, there were not many brands to give birth to this kind of crazy pieces. Now, we too often see brands stating that their detergent are washing whiter than their competitors. Best, Nicolas

You pushed very hard on the colors

But the tourbillon looks fantastic that way. It is definitly an interesting piece (which I prefer over the Reverso one) I remembered seeing the Reverso version one (sorry I don't know whether it is 1, 2, 3 ...) and wasn't completly satisfied with the cage's finish. Lately I saw otherwise. Should have a look at it one day in th emetal, no reason it is not beautifully crafted. Cheers, Mark

Yes it must be the Gyro 2

Not "one" for the number 1 but "one" the kind of gyro. Didn't express it correctly.

That's it

This is the one I saw in the window, in rose gold. Anyway, it is a technical marvel.
