came across something rare...something as rare as it could be ! a JB Viot prototype...
I truly believe this time piece was way ahead of it time before people realised what it is...
said to be between 7-8 pieces in total, one kind of still remains ''unknown/unlocated'' - seeing one is already rare
but then...a 'No. 0' - seeing one was pure joy !
Credits : Thanks to a private connaisseur friend in Geneva for sharing the timepiece so I could make so photos.
hope you guys enjoy it.
Best,

Indeed, my exact sentiment on this one....
Despite the fact that I do love some open dials, but they are definitely considerably more challenging for me to be drawn to ....
I tried on one
during IAMWATCH when Theo Auffret kindly let me. I really love the colour combination on the dial and wish it is for sale.
I agree. That said,
the prototype was previously sold by ACM but I only knew about it after the sales. Bummer. This is the one I handled, from Theo. ...
Yep đđđ totally fascinating
Rarest among the very rare watches đ Thanks for sharing my friend
