Really appreciate these early images. I really like the innovation in the micro-rotor movement. The cost for this is that the case (at least in these initial shots) looks perhaps a bit thick for the rounded shape (although not on the level of the cheeseburger of all time, the PP 5059).
I'm also not sure that I'm entirely convinced by the dial, particularly the execution of the small seconds.
That said, that's why we have watch dinners to see things in the metal! There's a good chance that once I see a finished version I'll fall in love.
Now if only there were a PT version with that stunning black dial...
Thanks again,
Gary G
ps -- look for a PM, please!

Thanks for the photos. The slate grey dial looks very nice with the rose gold case. Regards, Richard.

It is really a lovely watch. I prefer lousy shots rather than no shots at all. Regards, George
What lousy shots?

They're not lousy at all! Thanks for showing us! Interesting watch from Laurent. Movement really is intriguing.
Ronald, you've nailed it...

you own ability to judge the quality of your shots ;-)! Thanks a lot, I guess that'll be one of the show's highlights! Best, Magnus

Any first impressions on 'wearability' - heft, comfort etc? Cheers, pplater.
Very dinstinguished dress watch

I appreciate LF's classical style, in both the tourbillon and now this simple watch (though not with a simple escapement). Bill
It looks very intersting

The movemnt looks fantastic. I think its great that he chose to go a bit against the stream of the independants and make an Automatic rather than a simple handwound- MIcrorotor, even - a nice Idea and it looks superb. I love his case design. It looks very...
Wow!

from the quick pics does not get me nearly as excited as some other 3 hand watches. Somehow the dial aesthetics, baton/toothpick markers, hands, more "matte" dial don't fall into place nearly as well together as the elements of the tourbillon dial. I coul...

Even though I prefer modern designed watches to classical ones, I must say I love this one. The caliber is also really original and innovative in it's layout . Kind Regards, TDo
Nice watch. I like it.

An elegant dressy piece with a gorgeous and stunning movement. Would change the crown, I don't like it. It does not match the rest of the watch, to me. Thanks. Vte
