(A) (B) (C) (D) The answers are: (A) This one is easy - they are all tourbillons (B) These timepieces are all made by independent watch makers (C) Easy again - watches with enamel dials (D) Tricky one - watches with Roman indices So, next question - which...
... wound and running. Bravo, Sam. In so many shots of people's collections the watches are 'dead' in the box or on the table. Even at GTGs. Such a sad thing to do to a watch. But you have given them life and are a good father. :-) Wonderful collection an...
