My head is full of bees !!!!
Being in the same room with all those terrific tourbillons just turned my head!
It was momentous because it was highly unusual to have all those pieces in one room anywhere in the world.

Stunning pieces, Kong!
I am constantly wowed by Piaget's amazing construction and gem-setting. These timepieces showcase incredible technique and facility with jewelry setting/finish. I am so envious that you got to be in a room with all these watches at the same time. How many...
Wow
Thanks for sharing. the multi layered Emperador XL is an amazing work of art! cheers Francois
Thanks Francois...
the diamond setting work is really good especially at irregular contour. Kong
Marvelous pictures Kong !
My question about these watches, doesn't the promenance of the tourbillon of the Emperador make it hard to read the time? I don't see much contrast between the hands and the dial. How does it work in reality? Don
Viewing it in real ...
Hi Don Thanks for viewing. Though the hands do not provide much contrast, time reading is easy,even on the full pave dial. Viewing at a tilt angle helps a lot too. Kong
That's the piece...
that got my interest too Will look even more fabulous if the protective films are not there. Thanks for viewing,Ed. Kong
Thanks for this Kong
I was aware of Piaget before and never looked for them ....I certainly will after your post,take care
Thanks Cfdfire ...
The Polo Tourbillon is technically fascinating, have a look in real piece. Hope your location has a piece of the skeletonised Emperador,so you could see the thinnest tourb Cal 600P. Kong
At last, a Piaget I can lust after . . .
. . . or, as Mr Peabody would've put it . . . . . . "A Piaget in the key of jlC" . . . There's something special about rectangular skeleton tourbillons . . . cordially, Art...
Thanks Art!
How thick is the JLC's tourby? I would say there is something special about skeletonised tourby Kong
Not sure, but here's a photo . . .
. . . that should convey . . . . . . the proportions....
The pic says a lots ...
Thanks Art. The slender Skeletonised Piaget is more attractive. Kong
They might be similar superficially, but offer different perspectives . . .
. . . as the Reverso comes off as an abstract marvel, and the Emperador seems more successful qua watch. I hope I'm not being needlessly obscure . . . perhaps a better way of putting it is that the Reverso seems better suited for a Museum of Design, while...
Once again I'm in awe of the workmanship...
the skyline of New York City on the side of that Polo is phenomenal. I also love the Piaget offers so many interesting tourbillons in their Emperador case. Many companies only put their tourbillons and other complicated movements in round cases. Kudos to ...
Nice! Thanks for the additional pictures of the Piaget Limelight Paris ...
Equally stunning! Kong
