Here are more Live pictures photos Impressions of Day 3 at Baselworld 2015. They may be interesting to watch enthusiasts but may not be from big brands. Regards MTF LEROY Chronometre Tourbillon Prototype Constant Force escapement, fusee & chain, diamo...  

MTF, is it possible that the Leroy in the OP is not the new Chronometre Observatoire, but (rather) the Chronometre à Tourbillon? There be a few CHF swinging on the answer... Whilst the keyboard is out, please accept gratitude and congratulations on your u... 

...worldly, worthy..........what a nice word;) Cheers my friend Francois

The Leroy Chronometre Observatoire looks stunning although it is only a prototype and the Blancpain Metier D'arts is very nice indeed especially the first one "sphinx". It is extremely appealing, a least to me. Cheers Francois

...of recent years IMO. Thanks for the live pix! Daos

That sounds a bit like a statement from an OB/GYN specialist, but seriously, Blancpain are bringing in future, more complicated mechanical watches fro ladies that are not issued in gents' versions....... It may be a market-led trend?!? Regards, MTF ...
