Looks great; a wristshot gives such a good idea of how a watch looks like,
especially since I still have not seen the watch in the flesh.

May be a rose gold Trio for the next purchase? Cheers, Mike
Show us your Vianney
Having read his recent post here made me admire him even more. Salutations to Vianney!!! Allow me to share the passion here, and please don't forget to show us yours. Cheers. Teetann
One of his outstanding pieces
where never was much talk about.
I have never seen the watch in the flesh and would love to see a wristshot.
From what I understood; the entire movement was especially made for this model.

As you wish...
Geo.. here is a quick wrist shot I took over the weekend-- my apology for a poor photo quality. You have to see and feel this beauty in the flesh. No pictures can do it justice. Vianney is amazing. Cheers. Teetann
Thanks Teetann!

longed for it since 2001 when I saw the prototype and here it is :-)
Trio/WG
My photography skills are too poor, so photo by Harry Tan. The watch is magical.

My only VH... and a Classic...
It doesn't get worn much... but it sure is something to look at...
Now, if there were a Platinum version with a date... well, I'd not need another watch! 
I'll play
My Classic
And here it is with some of its siblings. (The Classic in this shot is the same one that's on my wrist in the shot above.)
The VHO on the left is the prototype that Vianney himself wears.
And a few close-ups just for fun....
The Trio from its back side

Isn't he marvellous?
Looking at this collection (and the pix of the Goldpfeil above), one would suspect VH must be some kind of mad genius.
And yet, in the flesh he is quite normal. Keenly intelligent, witty, personable, engaging...yes. Mad? Not in the slightest.
It takes an enormous amount of focus and self-discipline to create works of such whacky individuality which nevertheless deliver the goods as timepieces.
Chapeau.

My favorite
is the Antiqua, but I fear people are getting the impression that I own all these VHs. I WISH!
The Classic in the photo is mine, but the others were pieces Vianney brought with him during an indie watchmaker tour last year (written up here as Tim Jackson's Watch History in the Making II and the GTG in LA that followed). The HTO (which I mistakenly called the VHO) in the picture is the watch Vianney wears daily, or did at that time.
The Janvier No. 1 is a limited edition of 12 pieces named for Vianney's hero, Antide Janvier. The watch has the same case shape as the Classic, but it's 40mm instead of 36 and wears very large on the wrist due to the lugs. The way it displays the phase of the moon is awesome, and the gold sun hand shows the equation of time. The view through the display back is no less impressive.
