Did a plunge. and these days I am crazy about video-taking for some reason.

This is a spectacular pocketwatch I have ever seen. A new old stock, 8 days. Check out the length of the barrel spring seen from the back.

Enjoy listening to the ticking sound..I am simply obsessed now:- I admit!!

It's superb.

That's an impressive piece, but alas, I can't hear any ticking, even with my speakers turned up all the way.

A new old stock, 8 days.

I know what new, old stock is, but what does the "8 days" part mean?

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure it means it will run for 8 days on one full winding.

yes. sorry if I wasnt clear. It meant 8 days power reserve without having to wind again.
