The highlight ...

The highlight of the evening for me was this demonstration of the allure of modern technology. Despite the fact that the lovely Patek was on the table, when a camera SD card was plugged into the iPad3 with 'real time' images of the movement, everyone wanted to see.

The USB and SD card adaptors are sold as a set from Apple and allow you to transfer images from memory devices. There is an accessories list, including outputs for data projectors, that you can add when you order on line. Andrew
