Tablet Hi kolosstt, just in case you are using the same tablet as I do (mine has a piece of fruit on the back) you may want to try viewing Jocke's report in "reading mode". Worked nicely for me. All pictures were correct then. Best, Martin

Here are more Live pictures photos Impressions of Day 3 at Baselworld 2015. They may be interesting to watch enthusiasts but may not be from big brands. Regards MTF LEROY Chronometre Tourbillon Prototype Constant Force escapement, fusee & chain, diamonds instead of rubies for the jewels, domed caps for the screws....old school but modern technology. Bell & Ross updated their cases to balance the square-round proportions so that it is not dominated by the square.
