reminds me of something (LOL). Mmmmmm... what I like to own ? As mentioned to you previously, its their signature Nicolas Rieussec Chrono.. if only they make in 40 or 41mm ! I'm pretty sure it will be a sell out !

I also hope for a smaller Nicolas Rieussec in 40mm or 39mm even. Apparently they have launched a 39mm Timewalker so I am hoping they will create a smaller Nicolas Rieussec watch soon too Cheers Robin

Thanks

Glad you enjoyed the video Cheers Robin

Nice, but how does this add value to me? And how long does that value addition last?

Did anyone notice at 1:48 in the video the moonphase disc was advancing almost like a second hand? First of all, yes, testing is very important. No consumer likes to put on their brand new watch and right away it fails. That'd be awful. That has certainly... 

Thanks for your thoughts and feedback Patrick

I do agree on the assurance of initial quality. As mentioned, esp for 3rd party movements/new modules combinations and even more so for high complications like a perpetual calendar, the initial quality assurance does matter to me. As for whether the same ...
