Lovely article. Can't wait to hear the official announcement and see more photographs of this beauty! You mentioned that this will be the last of the tributes?

and a great piece..somehow the white and blue balances the "sporty" yet elegant halves of a reverso... May have to look futher in person...may balance the TTR1931 US that is already in the stable... Thank you!
