A small watchmaker in Switzerland in 1922 designed the first automatic(自动的)watch to show
the day, month, and date, Only seven of these splendid watches were ever made and these watches were
almost lost to history. Today, it is so hard to get an original(首批的)watch that some watch historians
are even willing to offer $ 200,000 for one.
These watches attracted a lot of people for their splendid color, fashionable style, and new uses in the
1920s. The owners of the watches were admired and set apart from the crowd. Because the number of
the original watches is very limited, owning such a watch will make you feel very special.
Today, you are offered the same kind of watch with improvement. It has a 24-jewel mechanical
(机械的)movement, the kind desired by watch collectors, The watchmaker has made the movement
of the watch much more modern with an automatic rotor(上弦装置)so that the watch never needs to
be wound by hand. The watch comes in a very beartiful case with a crocodile design on it. To get a watch
in such a perfect design to know history and to wear such a watch will show your personal taste and social
position.
You can get the watch either in person or by mail all an affordable price. You will also receive good
service from the watch seller. If you are not satisfied with the watch after you get it, you may simply return
it within 30 days. Don’t miss the chance to realize your dream.
