around from SIHH2014. Yes, the working prototype was at SIHH, but has since been dismantled for testing. The last I knew, the production series had started, although given the complexity of the watch, it will take time. Will try and find something for you... 

Thanks Andrew (nt.)

.......the tourbillon one? I have posted pictures of my "regular" 39 a few weeks back.

And good point. I am assuming the tourbillon version too.

........there are only 30 Tourbillon pieces planned, but I guess it will be a long time before all 30 are out in the wild given the massive complexity of it. No idea how many non-tourbillon versions are out there, the highest serial number I know of for t... 

With the RM039 E6-B prototype now being examined,

Thanks for posting that! I was taking a look at a 25 yesterday in some detail, and I felt that the tourbillon was a bit too hidden for my liking - I haven't seen the 39 Tourbillon in the flesh, but from the photos the visibility of the tourbillon cage see... 

Hope the shoot went well

My camera and skills are simply not good enough to pick up the details well enough. ...  

Over a thousand parts - a fair percentage in the case alone because of the E6-B

sliderule. Have an article in the works on the watch which will be available soon. It is the most complex countdown chronograph I have ever seen and Richard's attention to detail and purpose shine through. I think it is one of his grandest achievements in... 

For sure!

The sliderule is certainly a proper work-out for your eyes! Even the non-tourbillon version is a serious piece of work - the casework and finishing is sublime.
