I made my first visit to the Waldorf Astoria location a few years ago when I was only 14 or 15, and the service was still phenomenal - proves that they care about building customer relations. I got to try on a UN Hourstriker :D

Stunning movements like these are the very reason my interest for watches became a passion. Thanks for posting!

Does anyone have any more info about this competition?
