I love it LoL - the RO Concepts have always been my favorite APs, and this one is no different. To me....
They are easily the most imaginatively original pieces that they make, and well worth the attention (and hype) they seem to receive fairly frequently.... Thanks a bunch for such an extensive pictorial report, I would not have otherwise seen it in such great detail. Cheers, Filip

I completely understand the appeal.
And I’m sure the aventurine dial looks even better in person! Cheers, Emmanuel
Looks really good on the first picture.
But the watch looks really big on many of the wrist shots, even though it is only 38.5 mm big, perhaps due to the way the strap is attached to the case. I don't really follow these Concept Watches but the very first one (CW 1) is quite interesting.
The line is very interesting indeed.

Nice to see the concept in a "normal" setting...
I know the Concept is intended to be the most avant garde of the lineup - so seeing this more elegant implementation is a nice diversion. Hope there will be more next year when the Concept celebrates its next anniversary. Cheers Peter
I think I like it.
Generally I’ve like the case design for this series, and this one seems to be in a smaller more wearable size which makes it interesting (in theory). What is less appealing is that it is “just a tourbillon”. LOL As for the intersection of fashion and watc...
I agree with you:
the only thing that matters is whether we like the watch or not, and I agree that this one isn't bad at all. It's just not my personal type of watch. There are other collaborations, like with Matthew Williams (1017 ALYX 9SM), which I didn't like at all, b...
The ROC and RO are two lines which don't really compare, imo,
but I see your point and understand your preference! Best, Emmanuel
Yes, they've done a nice job and I imagine that
the aventurine dial is even better in person. I don't feel personally attracted, though. Best, Emmanuel
