Don't get me wrong, I like Urwerk...but the guilloché version of the 82172 just drives me nuts. Great stuff you've got.

Those dials were certainly made by Cadraniers de Genève which is nowadays fully owned by FP Journe. I am not sure why VC sold their stake ... Unfortunately I think such handmade dials would be more and more rare in the VC catalog even if some sort of collaboration remains.
