[time-nuts] Patek Phillipe mechanical clock

[Mark Sims]

My 5065A has one of those tick-monsters in it.   You can hear the damn thing two states away (three at night).  Luckily it powers up disabled,  but once you enable it you can't stop it.   I've only enabled it once...  that was enough... lesson learned.

one but a fellow in Europe was telling me you can really here them tick.
