For me the Opus series was really Opus 3 and 5 the 1,2 and 4 | |

were very interesting and technically advanced but nothing really new (of course Opus 1 was launched when Journe was just begining but looking back they just look like Journe's watches in a HW case and not a nice one at that).
Bernard, I know that you like 6 and 7 but for me they do nothing at all, they don't seem to me well thought out and fully finalized, their problem could be that they come after the 5 which was supposedly the big finale and had both mechanics, complication, design and EMOTION.
The 8 is more in line with what I would expect from an Opus watch however, and no offence to Frederic Garniaud, I think a watchmaker should have made it not an engineer (I gather this from Frederic's post below saying that he is not a watchmaker). We are living at weird times where watchmakers are no longer in the spot light and its the developers, engineers and designers who are getting the applause but be it without watchmakers who put these mechanical watches then there will be no watch.
Let's put watchmakers back where they belong in horology: in the center
