    It's nice, but not 14.5K CHF nice, IMO. Also, the jump in size just won't work for me. I had the 17.06 and the flared lugs didn't work at 38mm.

    Side note: I see their "purchase application" page is still up. I'm guessing it wasn't oversold in the first 2 min?

    I may be old fashioned but I like a running seconds indicator on my watches.

    Almost 15k chf without taxes, ouch :confused:
    The look is a bit too futuristic for my taste anyways. The dial isn’t appealing to my eye albeit a nice looking movement on the back

    Not that it's particularly useful for timing seconds, but I think you would have a partial view of the escape wheel turning between 5 & 6, so you would at least have an indication that the watch is running.

    A little odd that they have a partially open worked dial & partially skeletonised bridges, but with none of it providing a real clear view of anything in motion (as viewed from the dial-side, anyways...).

    i imagined they tried opened up the dial a little more, but ultimately the design didn’t work to their liking. Open-dial watches are mostly misses. Also a bit of “me-too” at this point. Piaget just released something I often find at department stores for $300. A yuck-fest of a dial. Piaget wants $30k for this.
    To sum up, open dial are yucky.

    I’m not picking this one up but I wonder if you could elaborate on your appreciation for their sales model? What is it and what do you like about it?
