Jaquet Droz - The Bird Repeater Watch

This morning I am entranced by this absolutely magical piece of timekeeping engineering from Jaquet Droz. Normally, I don't really care much about watches now that we've all gone to using our smart phones for just about everything, including telling the time.

There are watches and then there is really expensive jewelry that serves a function, like this. Someone with a Rolex wouldn't impress me, but this sure would.
