Grand Dôme R92 - A Limited Edition of 16!

The watch world throws around the expression "Limited Edition" a little too liberally.

Several thousand pieces might as well be a collection for many watch brands.  So it is nice to see something truly limited in number - 16 pieces to be precise.

I got to see this at BaselWorld, but in all honesty my pictures were of the same clarity as the cave paintings at Lascaux!  So thankfully, the folks at DS central kindly forwarded some good images along with the details, so without further ado -
