The Sapphire Bridges, back view

G'day,

On request in the earlier thread, here´s the back view of the second Sapphire Bridges Tourbillon. As noted before, it’s a prototype and not perfect; in that aspect, the units in production for customers will be different. Yet the very fine and elaborate hand-made finish will be the same, as well as the "black gold" coating:

As you see, there´s a bit of dust, both on the back crystal and my camera. Which may proof it´s a "real" shot taken "in the wild" and not a promo picture

What i find a particularly nice detail is the individual movement number engraved in a small block which takes up the shape of the bridges. The gold inlay of the engravings goes nicely with the black movement and the whole thing fits the TI case perfectly, which to me makes for a most interesting combination!

Enjoy!

Cheers,

Peter
