Got a bit of a rude shock as I took this one out to wear after a few years in the vault
Did not work and sent it to the watchmaker . He found all the oils dried up .
I need to take them out and wind them up more often
Anyway I love this insect like piece with scrolled lugs and centre seconds movement with a blued second hand
The dial is pretty pleasant with enamelled letters and numbers
Welcome to my wrist the very interesting ref 1491
