I took the pics and video first, then got to play with the watches So I didn't have a chance to wind it ahead of time before the video. The Bulgari staff was very generous with allowing us as much time as we wanted with each piece. And we can wind it, wea...

Thanks Ed. The video helps a lot for 'total visualisation'. And the cool wrist-shot too. Soon we need to carry a portable Lazy Susan Kong

Thanks Kong; if you think this is great, check out the DR Tourbillon Lumiere

Wonderful creation, the dial's depth is amazing. Gorgeous movement. Way too big, but wonderful. Love it. Cheers. Vte
