...just blew my mind this afternoon. Sighting it in the catalog pics and media especially after winning the GHPG prize, I missed the opportunity to see it while it was in Singapore. Thankfully Bertrande and Philippe were in town in Hong Kong and gave a private viewing. Spectacular and to me a great value piece.
I will let the pictures do the talking...

the titanium case gives the watch sensational wear. i had initially feared the dome would engulf the entire presentation of the timepiece, but it certainly did not. This is pretty much well documented, especially in interviews and in a very insightful Wall Street Journal article: The tourbillon runs independently of the time function - Vianney's approach and philosophy was to showcase the triple- axis tourbillon and in so doing highlighting the accentuated challenge of creating a tourbillon worthy of a master craftsman. I jolly well believe he achieved it.
I truly enjoyed myself. Thank you to Team VH !

Thank you for sharing...
VH watches are out of my realm..cost-wise but I do like a few of his watches.
This is one of the most appealing to-date..he is a genius who thinks out of the box and leads the way...e.g. his sapphire rotor is now copied by others..

definitely a very impressive watch but a ding magnet with its crystal.
it's hard to tell time from certain angle right with the dome crystal?
-
Sometimes yes. the hands curve onto the inner crystal, disappearing the hands totally at some angles.
in this pic, it is approximately 1:54
