I was obsessed with this watch ever since I saw it on Thomas Mao's wrist. Deep in my heart I know I will get it one day. After failing to acquire a similar piece from a recent auction (I put in an absentee bid because of time difference, but was outbid by...
i owned the upside and had to let it go sometime ago... congratulations! have you considered the platinum LF enamel dial micro-rotor ltd edition of 18 pieces? quite a beauty! Best of luck in your next acquisition! OpC PS... the independence guys are aweso...
especially the gorgeous blue dial! What a find! Your pin buckle set is pure class and I'm still looking for a case like that, which IMO displays the watches at their best. Had fun the other day. cheers fernando
I've been closely looking to this watch since I met LB in Paris last november. Every creteria I like are in green : Originality, aesthetics, technical displays ... Congratulations !
... I have fallen for the watch myself. Especially after I saw it at Basel fair yummie. I have not pulled the trigger yet, but let's see ;-) Btw, really nice collection you have Best Hans
. . . so long as you share them with us here on PuristSPro! Thanks, Sam. Msgr Ballard is as engaging personally as his watch is technically. Perhaps he'll blow all our minds one day with a perpetual along similar lines . . .

So you are the handsome-looking Japanese sitting next to Ludo? (just kidding) I promise to take some nicer pictures after this [wait till I get my Laurent Ferrier ] and I will ask my friend Ogygia to do it. The blue is a very subtle blue, a bit purple and...
... is unfortunately not me, Sam. I should have introduced him in the picture, but it is Ludovic's business partner Masaki 'Masa' Saito. Both of course worked with F.P.Journe and left to pursue their own watchmaking dreams. Whether Ludovic admits it or no...
I remember the first time I saw this on TM's wrist at a dinner and I thought it was a super clever concept. The movement side is actually more interesting to me. I think it's genius! I like Ludovic's new watch also. It was fun to meet him at IGOTT2 in Las...
I am still relatively unconvinced about LB....its kjust a personal conviction issue. i am expecting the regular non enamel dial LF this 2 weeks...will write. about initial feeling thereafter. and what a fantastic set of watches in the last pic. Best, Horo
Sam I also bid on the same piece at auction. Did anyone NOT bid here?!?!! I saw that one here in HK preview but I didn't love the coloue combo so didn't chase it up with you! Enjoy your blue dial and like Andrew eagerly await your further pics of the blue...
