Such an incredible timepiece: I can easily imagine how happy you are to have it back with you! Enjoy this marvel and thank you for sharing it here with us. Best, Emmanuel
I especially like the cushion case with shaped crystal and the scroll design in the corners of the dial. Happy for you that you have it back!

Without a doubt the most beautiful and fine Rattrapante movement out there in a modern piece. I hope it brings many hours of joy. It is
Unfortunately this was released before I looked into the brand - otherwise I would have been tempted a lot. Wishing you many happy moments with that piece of art
