Well executed, beautiful and warm

the subtle details are often overlooked : polishing of the countersink, the perlage underneath the  balance wheel,  the edges of the screw heads are anglaged by hand, even the collar of the anti-shock device over the balance wheel jewel is polished!

   I also enjoy the contrast between the different types of finish: the cotes de Geneve, the Cotes soleil with the "frosted" like finish on the crown and barrel wheels, and the polished effect of the anglaged surfaces of the bridges and levers.

I'll ask about the hinge back.  Perhaps it pays tribute to their past with pocketwatches.  Maybe it is just a small hint that the beauty of the movement should only be observed by the owner of the watch and not shared via photographs on the internet   (although your pics are darn good) !

Best, Mike
