Lecoultre Compass Camera.

As some of you may not know that, Jaeger Lecoultre sometimes explored other fields than watches only. They made some tools such as the millionometer which allows a great accuracy in the making of some watch parts and some other things such as this Compass...  

How to put it on the wrist without strap? ))))))

The early early version of a spy cam. I wasn’t aware they had ventured of in making these. But it looks great. One of those things to buy and put on display under glass bowl Not in the living room, but in our own man cave. That’s where it belongs

Fascinating [nt]

My inner James Bond wants one of these! My practical side of the brain says I'll never use it.

That's it! [nt]
