But my anal-retentive self could never get over the way the hands overlap the "3" and the "9". If they had just omitted the 3 & 9 altogether, I'd probably be owning one today! Best, NickO

The eye does not encounter significant negative space on the dial, that's the part that's remarkable, the sub indications even reach over each other with skeletonized hands. I like it!

I am generally of the same mind, I haven't seen this one before but here somehow I think it's a cohesive design that works.

When you look down, all you see and notice is an amazing micro machine with incredible charm and a unique styling all it's own. A true piece of mechanical art that was created by Dubuis himself, a true watchmaker and artisan. What more could one ask for? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ˜‰πŸ€”
