Thinking Tourbillons

Thanks very much Shing, most helpful!

As for the Sidérale reference I think it is 5041(01)

I will collect my thoughts and send you an email.

Stu, great picture of an amazing watch! The 'Mystere' is high on my list, only beaten by the Jones handwound Tourb, in White Gold of course ;-)

I was at SIHH (2010 I think) when the Retrograde was launched, but I was a bit 'underwhelmed' by it. Specifically the retrograde scale is too big for my taste and makes the dial a bit unbalanced in my personal opinion.

Hello Bob,
actually the date is the only thing I lack from time to time with my Tourbillon Mystère. But the red indices with the Retrograde is an absolute no-go for me as they destroy the elegance of the watch (My two cents). And of course whitegold is a little bit cheaper than platinum. So I'm more than happy having realized my grail watch.
