even more out of realistic reach than most other dream watches, but wonderful:

Incredible watch-making, but I actually don't overly like the look of it (well, not from the front at least).

I agree Driver. I would have trouble telling the time with this one. Never been a great lover of decorated movements. This one is just plain awful.

Unusual, which is hardly surprising. I like it a lot more than some of the others, and think it's a really good size, but would take some getting used to. No doubt an incredible feat of engineering. Great movement shot.

I think the movement looks beautiful. It's just the front I don't like. :lol:

I doubt it Fred. Its an engineering tour de force no doubt, but the whole raison d'être for this one is confused.

I'm a big HW Opus series fan. They always come out with something cool every series and this one is no disappointment, but compared to last year's 12, can't say if I like this one more.
