What a treat these posts are for everyone here. Agree with you on the Tank Louis Cartier Sapphire Skeleton. Very nice. That Van Cleef / Christiaan van der Klaauw collaboration is a show stopper ! Dean

The Ludovic Ballouard is another interesting interpretation. Thanks Bill

Both are really at the top of the game. Wait till you see some detailed shots... Amazing! TM

The VCA is another excellent surprise, I must say. Best, and thanks for taking the time to post these watches in the rush of the SIHH.... Nicolas

It looks much better. And VCA is a nice surprise. Thank you Foversta. Regards, Constantin

Wow, love the look of that FP Journe! When will details be available?

That's a pleasant surprise! Were there any other examples (or hints of other examples) of this new dial style by any chance?
