    The fact that this watch still worked after being used for decades really shows one of many reasons that watches are something worth paying a huge price for.
    Even back in the 40s, you can see how advanced it was and even then how much you had to study for in order to craft something so genius in such small size.

    Some of them, ignorant of the risk, lacquered their teeth -for fun- with the mixture, to show their family how strange it looked …
    Many of them developed cancer after the war
    I see that you discard the radium-filling into a special collecting box, well done ! We see how seriously you're working.

      Yes the girls did that for fun, but the whole world was ignorant as to what radium did, at this time it was also added to drinking water for health, chunks added to swimming pools in NYC for soaking. Marie Curie also died from exposure to radium, one of the smartest minds of the time was using it to shrink tumors, she was on the right track but didn't realize the adverse risks. The Company the girls worked for (Radium. Dial i think) tried to cover up what they knew, It was actually the first action law suit in the US, workers won but they all died so pyrrhic victory.
