Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde Tourbillon Watch
This isn't the first tourbillon watch by Jaquet Droz, though it is the most elegant. A simple concept, this Grande Seconde Tourbillon takes the standard figure 8 dial design and inserts a classy looking tourbillon into the seconds dial. The resulting look is gorgeous and the tourbillon has a neat secret, but can you detect the amusing irony of the watch name?The original Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde watch was named as such because the seconds dial was placed in the larger part of the figure 8 style stacked dials.

I don't want to be stuck with a frankenwatch.

New 114060 now or wait until Basel?
My salesman at the local AD is my friend and messaged me this morning that he just got in a 114060 ND Sub and he would hold it for me if I wanted it. I would love to grab it even though I bought a new Air King from him 2 weeks ago but I don't want to miss out on some new amazing piece released at Basel because I just busted my nut on a Sub. Legit dilemma. Haha
