Very cool!
The Pam base (plus your Seiko) are the only two I'm familiar with.

Looks like a fun time and I love Fado's. That use to be one of my favorite stomping grounds when I was single. I assume that the Bovet was part of the Unique Pieces collection, but I can't find anything on that particular watch. What's the story of painting the dial with a single hair?

Baco Noir Duane works for Bovet, and those are his dogs painted on the dial. I believe this one is the Amadeo model, named after Bovet's son (I think that's what he said at least, somebody's son). The strap comes off and it can be a pocket watch, hence the crown at 12. Plus it can be a desk clock.

And it's not too shabby that you hang out with peeps in the watch biz!!!
