Owning a vintage watch is great, understanding its place in Horology is MAGNIFICENT!

That has the makings of a fantastic movie and the best part is it's true and involves a stunning and highly complex pocket watch with historical significance.  |

The best part is the watch, itself: Unbelievably beautiful!   The second best part :It was made for a woman!  KAT |

It is the 'king' of all watches.
I have not seen it, but I have many pictures and articles on it.
Actually while it was missing Heyek (snr)made a replica of the original, so actually two pieces exist to-day.
