Expensive, good design, but poorly finished movement...
The watch will be expensive. In gold, the men's version with the leather strap will cost around 20,000 Euros! Almost equivalent to a Patek Philippe 5296R.
In steel, you're looking at the "several thousand" Euro range.
I find the design to be good. But the movement finishing is so dull and dry that it reminds me of the dry itchy skin I've been having lately... And the dry/dull chicken that was served at an English pub last night for dinner. Eczema and dry chicken... That's what this movement makes me think of... Lovely.
But on the positive note, I do like the design. But would I buy it over a Patek Philippe 5296? No, not even if it was my second or third 5296.

I like the looks of this watch from the pics
looking forward to seeing it in the metal here The case and lugs designs are very unique and I like them - a sensual feeling with the shape and design Thanks for the review Fx! Cheers Robin
Thank you for this exhaustive article...
The watch is very beautiful and the apperance of the front of it far surpasses the less atractive looks of the movement. I think it would look good on any wrist. Well done congratulations!!! Regards Edward This message has been edited by watercolors on 20...
