With the same dial metal and colors you mean?

Because the original Tourbillon Mysterieuse has the same balance size and it has the time function only. I like the "two part" dial layout. It really shows off the Tourbillon without interference. Hope all is well, Mike ...
More than just that...

Also with full-sized hands, without the "mystery". I like the heures mysterieuses a lot, and have been lucky enough to enjoy it in the metal on several occasions, but the opportunity for a dial of this size with a big Tourbillon , an hour hand, a minute h...
