    It's always a joy to see Marko bring us these amazing time pieces and the people behind them, I suggested a collab between Teddy Baldassarre and Marko on Teddy's channel, he was quick in responding, he said he too loved brother Marko and would love to do a collaboration on niche and independent watch makers.

    This is quite simply, the frenchest watch ever. A lot of components, some made in house, some not kind of "grab around the office" which are assembled and arranged with a french sense of class and in this case, sport. It makes me think of bugatti in the 30's. French craftmaking at it absolut best.

    Awesome watch and great watchmaker! Congratulations Théo and thanks a lot Marko for showing Mr. Auffret's work!
    I really appreciate that he's started to make a 'sporty' varation of his tourbillon watch. I think most high-end watchmakers should produce a bit more sporty pieces for an younger audience. That's why I love e.g. Greubel Forsey, Urwerk and MB&F as well as they're all really high-end but still 'sporty'. All the best from Germany!

    Lovely timepiece. The 7 o'clock position is common (not unusual) though: after placing the barrel and crown assembly, the tourbillon naturally sits at the 7 placement.

    Imo his original Tourbillon a Paris was much better looking. In a way more brutalist and a more directly inspired by pocket watches. While this new model is more refined I think it lacks some of that essence that made the original model so unique. It's also a bit disheartening to see the lack of refined detailing at this level. The text on the torque indicator is quite poor for a $128k watch imo
    Nevertheless it's very exciting to see young people approach high end watchmaking like this. Wishing him all the best.

      @@AtlanticSouth Sorry if I came across negative.... his work is to be respected. But if you are asking 128k the movement has many rough parts. When you are playing at this level there is a certain amount of finishing that is expected, it is what I am speaking about here. If this is a production piece I would expect better and consistent Polish and finishing even one of the lugs in one of the pics has a dent in it.... I assume this piece has been in many hands for display and advertising purposes.

    Superb design. One thing I would change is engrave the Maker's name on the large barrel. For some reason I dislike names written on the crystal, I feel it cheapens the look of the watch. With skeletonized movement there are so many places that name could be engraved instead of the glass.
