MTF, is it possible that the Leroy in the OP is not the new Chronometre Observatoire, but (rather) the Chronometre à Tourbillon? There be a few CHF swinging on the answer...

The Leroy Chronometre Observatoire looks stunning although it is only a prototype and the Blancpain Metier D'arts is very nice indeed especially the first one "sphinx". It is extremely appealing, a least to me. Cheers Francois

Nicely executed indeed....

Salman. I find it fantastic the way they (the artists) have succeeded in "showing" two heads, depending on how one looks at, it's a ram, look again, it's a lion! Very nice. Cheers Francois

I wish I am as lucky as you and get to see them in person, did you enjoy your trip? S
Hard to remember after fifty or so years . . .

. . . but yeah, even then, I knew that was a special moment, to be savored forever. I do recall learning on that trip that one should never pack Pepsi in a thermos. :-)

Thanks for sharing that LEROY watch MTF! First time I've heard of the company. Big fan of chain and fusee endowed watches.
Blancpain so wrong and so right
By: kolosstt : March 23rd, 2015-14:37
Sorry, but the L-evolution just doesn't represent a watch expected from Blancpain. - Ok, the heart is purely Blancpain. So the casing is some 45deg twisted Panerai or Monaco? - No, it's completely Blancpain. Great. I like its look and the package with the...
Carrousel
By: kolosstt : March 28th, 2015-03:27
I read somewhere that there were thoughts of abandoning the carrousel, because of its lacking popularity compared to the tourbillon. Anyway, I am pleased to see that this complication found its way into a latest release again. Let's keep the carrousel a v...
Blancpain are going to cater more for ladies complications
By: MTF : March 27th, 2015-05:26
That sounds a bit like a statement from an OB/GYN specialist, but seriously, Blancpain are bringing in future, more complicated mechanical watches fro ladies that are not issued in gents' versions....... It may be a market-led trend?!? Regards, MTF ...
