I must confess that I missed this version of the Master Grand Tourbillon. 

I am not a big fan of tourbillon watches, except when they are gyrotourbilloning, but I find this dial interesting. 

Indeed, the dial is blue enamel grand feu, with some micro incrustations of silver and gold, to make the dial look like a starry sky. The outcome is quite appealing, even if I regret the presence of  the tourbillon. A full dial like this would have been a visual feast. 

 

The case is 43 mm big, and 13, 3 thick, in white gold. 

The movement is the well known Cal 978. 

 
A movement which has proven its precision during the 2009 Chronometry contest, as it took the first place. 

 
Best,

Nicolas

Very nice dial!

Too bad about the "hole" in the dial.... Best Blomman

It would have indeed been splendid without the hole...

Somehow the dial reminds me of Christmas! J

Or even better, with the tourbillon on the backside. [nt]

+1 on that.. Just a little secret for the lucky owner.. Else, this is a very attractive timepiece, with this special " blue & stars" :))

Thx for sharing this one, dear friend ! - That dark, sumptuous blue has a certain spell ! Best, hs

That is something I would love to see on a simpler watch. Definitely. [nt]
