These are two of the coolest films I have seen in regards to detailed mechanisms. Both features (How a Watch Works & What Makes a Fine Watch Fine) showcase excellent footage of the interior and exterior of very nice watches from the 1940s. The second film showcases a tour of the Hamilton Watch Factory. This one-of-a-kind collection is a great find for anyone interested in watches.
