    Feel quite lucky to have worn and experienced a couple of the watches here, the Bulgari finissimo tourbillon, and the minute repeater. They say, each watch is made by the same watch maker from start to finish. True pieces of art. however, the most impressive watch in this video is the JLC minute repeater automatic.
