Magnus, Thanks for the video of the low power safeguard. Usually, when I see the watch, it is fully wound or nearly so. Thus, the safeguard never really comes into play. Regards, MTF

... I was at the Chopard Geneva Boutique in April this year. Was told that there are still 2 Full Strikes available. I passed because it would be inconvenient for me to get the watch serviced. So, any takers out there?
