as the situation (board room filled with watch journalists, some of them chatting loudly) was not very conducive to recording good quality sound files.

Best,
Magnus

In the pics, fantastic pics in fact, it seems the crown is notably closer to the dial then the back of the case. Is that a trick of the light or actually the case? In total agreement about the words on the dial. Maybe a little G-Clef to remind you of the ... 

Possible...

Great post...

I actually found the sound quality to be better than what I expected, at least on version. Loudness was there, tonal quality was excellent. The only complaint is that the residual sound of the gear train was still quite audible. Having said that, the inn...
