Watches, clocks, etc. are amazing pieces of engineering. The automatics are the best these days. No batteries.I have to explain a statement I made earlier on, as to how 2 minutes fast or slow on a watch were accepted as normal. They weren't sold that way. If the master watchmaker determined that they were not within that range they were sent back to assembly. Those within the 2 minute limit were sent to be fine tuned. They all left the factory perfectly tuned, but in those days, watches did not stay accurate all that long!
I am going to be on the look out for that Tabletop Set!
What was your job there?
