Notes

DIAM. 18 mm. The making of miniature watches has always been a challenge for watchmakers. Many have vied with each other to produce ever smaller mechanisms enabling them to boast of making "the World's Smallest Watch". With a diameter of 18 mm. the present watch can truly be described as a miniature.
