Wow!

Jean Kazes made clocks for Chopard, Patek Philippe, Cartier, Hotel Cornavin and Unilever
The clock you saw was made by Jean Kazes (AHCI) whose clocks are also seen in buildings of Patek Philippe, Cartier, Hotel Cornavin and Unilever. I've seen the ones at Patek Philippe and Hotel Cornavin in Geneva and for Chopard. Regards, MTF
The new Grigio Speciale is very attractive but...
L.U.C XPS Platinum is soooooo thin that you fall in love it at first sight!
