The insides
of the Lemania, that is. When other watch collectors started sending me pictures of the insides of watches I thought they were nuts. Now I do it. Not much of the design of these watches is driven by aesthetics. It is like a violin, in that the beauty comes from it being perfectly functional. Bill gave me a book of amazing drawings of these. It was some kind of catalogue, but each coloured rendering is worthy of framing. I'll scan them.

Good or bad, there really aren't too many ways of doing it that someone hasn't already tried.
BTW, his page on making your own aiglets is excellent. :-)
I'm pleased to have that site on record here, as one of the most esoteric consumptions of energy. This also comes close:
