I had the opportunity to try this amazing piece on this weekend, and I’ll be the first to vouch for the fact that this watch is worth every penny of its $140,000 price tag.

One of my favorite details on this watch are the carbon inserts on the side of the case. I never even noticed these in the pictures I had previously seen, but they look awesome in person.

Even a portion of the movement is made from carbon fiber. This is visible through the exhibition back.

I wish that I could have snapped a few photos myself, maybe a wristshot or two, but unfortunately I did not have my camera with me. If you ever get a chance to see this beautiful machine in person, I highly recommend it.
