Hi everyone, With the Parisian salon that stood at the end of November, I could see most of their beauties but especially try the new 6 pieces LE, Double Balancier 35 . It's a stunning piece. One of their watch that suits best to my wrist. First, let me ...  

Mark, I had the same thoughts like you - double ... quadruple tourbillon ... . But then I was asked to handle some pieces, to examine them with a good loupe, to try them on my wrist and on top I got a personal introduction by Stephen Forsey - lot´s of bac... 

Hey Oliver, The only one who comes and visit my AHCI posts :p I didn't have the chance to talk with him but viewed some YouTube videos from him and it seems to be a very clear and patient man. Holding some of their timepieces is trully a great moment and ...

I know what you have in mind, but it is not me who owns the boat. It starts with an "O" and ends with an "i". Most famous sailors started like this ... :-) At the moment he is training a lot, even in winter four hours each Saturday.

I really find myself in what you just said. Trying to learn more and more about watches and the watch industry make us be more and more hard to please, at least more demanding. We try to navigate among the marketing or technical stuff but, as you said aga... 

It is very beautiful. I can only say...look at the vertical winch tourbillon from Cabestan as well. Or..buy both. These are GIANTS of watch making to me.
