Although, I'd say well worth the wait. One of the seminal Opus projects form HWRT. That might have to do with my fondness for Vianney and his extra-ordinary work, but all the same, wow what a mind blowing piece, and given it's debut 8 years ago, way ahead of it's time.
Now, with the 8 year time lag to bring it to production, one could argue it has lost a bit of it's novelty, given some of the other crazy watches emanating from a variety of Independent Watchmakers. This is just one of those things that occasionally happens with extra-ordinary cutting edge creations. I suppose the acid test for me is that I still find it a fantastic piece after all these years waiting! Brilliant effort too to HWRT for seeing it through.
Kudos to you for sticking it out, many I'm sure have lost faith and moved on.
Enjoy for years to come,
Cheers,
Tim
