So close, and yet so silent (Strike 1)
I was in New York city this past weekend, and stopped in the Chopard Boutique as I was passing by. It is much larger and nicer than the old one, and dead empty due to the nasty weather. I looked around, and sitting right there, in the case, was a Strike One! I asked to see it, and adjusted the time so it would pass an hour.....and it was silent. I pressed the button to turn chiming on....nothing. I asked the clerk, who had some knowledge of the watch, and she couldn't get the chiming to activate either. In short, I was able to play with a broken Strike One, right before it went across Madison Ave to be serviced, as it was apparently damaged while on display

The sound of the strike one
Apologies for the lousy video quality (and the strange background noise comes from the camera). The Sound Level Meter is peaking at 66dB, so not loud but distinctive!
Trying to post the video again
Apologies but I could not work out how to post video directly, but I did post it on YouTube - hope this works (apologies if I am breaking any rules, lots of other great sonneries out on YouTube by the way)
Thanks Folkfreak for the filmlet...
Good idea to have a Sound Level Meter around. Now, why are you having a sound-level meter? What's the read-out? Have you any reference with other repeaters? Kong
