Hi Nicolas,
I agree with all you wrote.
The Laureato is just mesmerizing!
I'd like to spend more time with the minute repeater to know more about it.
Regarding the Vintage 45 I find them gorgeously designed and indeed too large for me!
They will fit larger wrists, or people liking large watches, but not me. I still hope to find "my" Vintage 45 someday.
Best
