MB&F MusicMachine 3 Swiss Music Box Looks Like A Star Wars TIE Fighter
MB&F should probably just become an official Star Trek and Star Wars universe licensee, given all the science fiction related items the brand is selling (especially in terms of those character universes). For its third MusicMachine music box created in collaboration with the music box maker Reuge, MB&F produces a musical TIE Fighter craft for your desk. Does this high-end Swiss artistic music box play the Star Wars theme? You bet your ass it does.The MB&F MusicMachine 3 (now known as MM3) doesn't play any full songs, but it does play snippets from the Star Wars theme, Mission Impossible theme, James Bond theme, The Godfather theme, Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence, and The Persuaders. These tunes are each played on one of two rollers-with-pins-style music box systems. So while the entire device looks very modern, at its heart, this music box uses age-old technology. Welcome to watch making country at its best (even though this isn't a watch).From a structural perspective, the M

NOW look what you made me do.....!!
Hi, Folks...and no I am not going to take responsibility for my actions. Before I came to this forum I considered myself rather sane....and now I'm an addict!!I had started a thread asking after reasons for why people were interested in Elgins and liked what I heard. So, I think I can be forgiven for taking a pass through my favorite pawn-o-rama and snapping up what I thought was an Elgin. Its my own fault for not looking closer. Anywhooo....the PW I have has "Vallon" on the face, and though the case itself is rather ornately worked, its pretty plain that the little devil has been hiding in some rat-hole somewhere. ....And no it doesn't run. The crystal is not plastic....I don't think.....but the little urchin has a dirty little face, and the hinged covers (all three of them) definitely resist closing, as though they were somehow "sprung". With some effort I was finally able to get everything closed-up for the trip home. I have it on the desk in front of me and am trusting that it is h

Not Your Usual Longines-Lindbergh Hour Angle Watch
First, forgive me if, in all my newbie-ness to this site, I posted this in the wrong place. I would appreciate any posting guidance that's out there. That being said, I have a very unusual Longines-Lindbergh Hour Angle watch. I say unusual because of the hundreds I've seen online, I haven't seen one exactly like the one I have. It belonged to my deceased husband's father who, I believe, purchased it somewhere in the late 30s or 40s. What makes it unusal is that, first, the case is not hinged. There is a small but weird looking contraption at the base of the case with some kind of spring/mechanical doohickey. Again, forgive my lack of technical terms. Secondly, there are two side dials for winding, I assume one for the time, and one for something else (?). The dials are flat and circular, not the little crown-like type I've seen elsewhere. Third, there is a printed inscription on the back that reads "invented by Col Chas A Lindbergh, US Patent No. 1923305. Now, I've seen that
