Aiguillon's review on his Mandetbrote Orbital

The most striking feature of this timepiece is undoubtedly its orbital minute complication, which immediately catches the eye. It's indeed very rare to find a watch where the hours are indicated by a wheel marking the half-hours, which enhances legibility, but also, and perhaps more importantly, where the minute hand folds in half, offering a particularly original way to tell the time. The domed crystal is also a positive aspect of the model, in my opinion. Of course, there are a few minor drawbacks, such as the lack of a seconds hand, the less-than-perfect finishing, and the legibility of the minutes between 15 and 20 on the one hand, and between 40 and 45 minutes on the other. These small flaws shouldn't detract from the pleasure of owning such an inspiring complication!
