Because I am not very familiar with watches I am turning to the experts for an answer to this. Someone on this forum may have seen the recent movie Micmacs... it is a French movie from the same directing genius who made Amelie and A Very Long Engagement amongst others (He also directed Alien Resurrection but the less said about that the better) Micmacs is a charming film of eccentric characters and eccentric settings and events. In it there is a couple of full screen images of the face of a wrist watch with a light coloured dial and a mechanical movement (you can hear it ticking!) What I am wondering (without going back to the cinema with a digital camera and taking a photo I suppose) is can anyone tell me what the watch and its history might be and how many beat the movement is... (okay maybe not the movement beat) Any clues highly appreciated. A ling shot I know but heck one cant go much past a forum such as this for an answer to a tricky watch question Thanks to all, Michael
