That is a beautiful dial, Peter
I am looking forward to fetching my own special-edition and to meeting you personally on November 24th!
Thank you for...

Seems to be an amazing work
and this is one of this year's new pieces that I would really like to see in real, the dial but also the engraved case, the finishing ... It looks stunning. Maybe at Belles montres 2012 in Paris ? Best, Mark
Ah, Peter has foresight to pay attention to Vietnam market
What a beautiful 3D dial! The photographer has done a brilliant job to bring out the uniqueness of the dial. Regards Ling
