Very cool. Look forward to seeing the collection pictures (with Japan in the background).

I wish I was in the position to have ordered one before the reference being discontinued, I have to say I’m disappointed with that. Such is collecting, 2024-25 budget was committed almost a year ago !

Hopefully there will be another small cased watched in the pipeline (although my understanding is that is not the case currently).

A 40mm L2 would have my money but apparently it will not happen.

That’s long been locked and loaded, and it’s not 40mm.

I’m asked him this same question in 2018/2019.

Thanks, I will post some Japan wristshots!
I do understand there are still some IMR available (WG white dial, WG blue dial, WG black dial, RG white dial, plat white dial, plat black dial, titanium white dial, black titanium blue and white dials). You might want to email or DM then via IG to find out more.

If the IMR is not to your liking, Romain Gauthier previously told us there will be another "micro-rotor" in the near future with similar size to IMR.

Yes, I’m aware they are still available but as I understand it it’s currently “last orders”. As mentioned, I spent my watch money for both this year and next so that doesn’t really help me!

Interesting your comment about a future small watch as I asked just this week and did not get that answer. I will ask again.
