Personal Note- Collector Owned, Never worn, In pristine condition complete with massive display storage box and all papers. "Maitres du Temps Chapter One Tourbillon C1T.T0.2E.12-0 -
a spectacular collaboration of famed Watchmakers Claret, Dubuis and
Speake-Marin.. Chapter One is the ultimate complex mechanical watch that
contains the six complicated mechanism in one watch. Maîtres du Temps
emerged, producing complex watches that incorporated rollers into their
displays. The elegant, streamlined form, innovative indications, and
ergonomic functions of Chapter One belie the incredible complexity of
its unique movement.. The dial features central hours, minutes, and
chronograph 60-second counter, tourbillon and day of the week roller,
retrograde GMT, 60-minute chronograph counter and precision moon phase
roller, and a retrograde date. The two rollers work simultaneously with
the time, date, GMT, and chronograph and are large enough to be easily
read, housed in the ultra-light and homogeneous case.. A small window
between day roller and tourbillon allows a unique view of the superbly
finished gyrating tourbillon cage. Mirror-polished angled surfaces
brings the dial to life, and the locking corrector pushers form curves
meeting the graceful flow of the case ... The overall design is very
modern, benefiting from the number of complications in this watch, the
dial, flanked by the two, rollers that are part of the aesthetic look of
the watch and rolling bar mechanisms, is intelligently organized. All
protected by the amazing Display box. The presence of the watch is
breathtaking, because it is so luxuriously bold. Maitres du
Temps did such a nice job making it a truly unique, yet classic feeling
timepiece."This is extremely rare, beautifully designed piece by the
masters".
Maitres du Temps Chapter One Tourbillon......."The
Timepiece .. The ease of both reading and adjusting Chapter One's many
indications disguises the fact that this is a world-first combination of
complications crafted from 558 components.... No other wristwatch has
featured a tourbillon with mono-pusher column wheel chronograph,
retrograde date, and retrograde GMT, as well as moon phase and day of
the week on their own rolling bars... Long, flowing compound curves
traverse the case while scintillating laser-pierced moon and stars on
the outer roller of the moon phase indicator add to its stellar
elegance"...

Let
me start by saying, I have looked over Ebay, and boy, there sure are

goes wrong? PLEASE be careful & know who you are buying from.
