I loved listening to this presentation! I'm new to watchmaking, but everytime i see an Elgin watch I think the finishing is just so strikingly beautiful, and I hope to own one of my own some day. I will definitely have to check out Bill's book.
The Elgin watches are true works of art. One of our volunteers, Ira Marcus, had a visual art show at the Museum a few years ago and it featured some incredible close ups of the watches.

OMG 😢 how far away were you from the microphone????!!!!!Sooooooo disappointed. I really REALLY wanted to listen to this since I only live a mile away from the old watch factory. 😢
Did you try turning up the volume on your computer as well as on the video? It was a little challenging to capture the sound with two presenters, so sorry about that.

My mother worked at the Watch Factory, she just turned 90 years old.
What a gift to reach 90! Hope you enjoyed the video and it brought back memories.
