[time-nuts] Breguet TYPE XXII

[Will Matney]

Tom,

I think you misunderstood the post. I was not peddling a watch, but quoting
an e-mail, containing the technical aspects of, or the horological aspects
of, the new watch itself, or the new movement they're using to tell time,
and what they did. Maybe I should have started the quote at "This
creation", and eneded it at "rotation in 30 seconds", and not commented
about it afterward. I would actually think this would be closer to OT than
about anything, especially the new horology aspect, but OK.

Best,

Will
