The nth striking report by Magnus...!!!

Dear Magnus, I don't want to flatter you, but I can't restrain my fingers to type a compliment...
What can I add? I'll try to explain my point of view. When I've heard of a platinum case with DLC coating I almost fall down shocked... Then I've tried the watch: I've felt its heft, I've appreciated the idea of a case resembling the deep darkness of the universe and I've realized that the rich collector who will desire that timepiece would love a bit of "lunatic extravaganza" and would never appreciate a "simple" black ceramic case or any other DLC-coated material.
Ciao,
Elio

Perhaps the artists behind this watch envisioned a dense timepiece, something like a black hole? A ceramic or DLC steel case wouldn't achieve the same heft. For a timepiece that is just as much art as it is fine watchmaking, there is less need for pragmat...
Conceptionally the same, but technologically more mature...

I think the Christophe Colomb is a maturation and further development of the Zero-G presented by Mr. Nataf. The positions of the dials and the location of the escapement module have changed, the construction of the latter certainly has been advanced, but ...
