But I really question the choice of Urushi technique, rather than, say, porcelain-which is a traditional Chinese art. I've wondered about this since first reading about these Chopard pieces. Certainly doesn't take away from its appearance.

I didn't pay attention to the little crown before you mentioned it. Hope it won't be a problem to wind it regularly. Best wishes Alkiro

Thanks

I'm tempted to let the watch run down and just reset the hour/minute.

I'm sure you'll find the best way to enjoy it ;-)
