Reminds me of some work Chopard has done years ago and is exciting here as much as there. Very nice piece unique 👌🏻👍🏻

Interesting that the manufacturer agreed to make a tantalum case just for him.

Very well done.

Although I have to say Tantalum usually looks much darker than it does here but the dial and hands just look so good on this watch who really cares. Marc.

There are so many blue dials already.

Can’t believe I made it onto WPS! Absolutely chuffed. Thanks for the kind words guys. Yeah it was a crazy journey how this came about, had to jump through so many hoops but now it’s a piece that’s truly probably my favourite. Happy to answer any questions... 

Thanks for your extensive coverage of independents and various collectors' stories. I love many of your videos, especially the one with Sylvain Pinaud. Since you are doing a deadbeat series now, please let me share my own humble deadbeat. ...  

This isn’t humble at all! This is my favourite modern deadbeat watch, SO GOOD

and I’m not surprised that you like it so much. Best, Emmanuel
