William, it’s a beauty, shame I have to return it, as with most quality Swiss watches & fine wines only for the connoisseurs.

Like a well designed home or a truly fine automobile, a really classy watch is understated and elegant.

Thanks a million for sharing this work of artful watchmaking with all of us.
