    I was very happy to finally track one of these beautiful watches down
    recently, and even more pleased when I saw the box it came in.

    From the side, the box slopes gently to the front: (it's turned sideways-
    don't know why)

    From the
    front: what's that dial thing? This isn't for
    cigars...

    A close-up-
    hygrometer.

    And finally, what's it storing?

    That playful and beautiful moon!

    Hope you enjoyed.

    Nelson

    Hi Nelson,

    What a great watch!

    I know you were looking for this one for years!

    I never saw one for sale, including that great box.

    Top find.

    I really enjoyed it, Nelson !

    Such highlights are very uncommon and I like uncommon watches.
    That was not mass production, that was real manufactory art and this kind of
    watches will be never produced again.

    That makes it very special.

    Regards

    Heiko

    The more I look at it the more stunning it gets! That's the best moon on a
    dial I've seen.

    Congratulations Nelson on this superb addition to your collection. I know that
    Terry given his passion for boxes, mus be blown away too.

    Do you think it was a one-off? The hydrometer is very handy for the
    safekeeping of your watches and stogies!
