Based on what I know of your general taste...
...in watches, avant-garde or tech-y designs usually aren't your favorites. Other than the L.U.C. Tech Twist I don't think we've talked about another tech-based design that really floated your boat. This is actually my favorite version of the three bridges design (Well, the original clear sapphire bridges variant.). I like that it takes the tourbillon into the sport watch realm, and the sapphire bridges show mastery of materials and finishing. The tension of circular/angular shapes that makes the RO, ROO, Nautilus so successful are also at work in the Laureato case.

blue jelly!
i imagine this change makes the 3 bridges a bit more "stand out" as the original clear bridges were more subtle. and its less water resistant than the original laureato bridge!? cheers, Ed~
They do...
...stand out a tiny bit more, and maybe we are supposed to be reminded that they are crafted from sapphire because of the blue hue. A curiosity to be sure. Daos
