    Great vid, as a Brit had a vested interest ! knew about Harrison only. Btw, a lot of the early watchmakers in England at least were persecuted Huguenots I believe, refugees from France

    I feel conflicted when it comes to the upcoming US presidential elections, Jake. Are you vote for President Trump, or for Mr. Kanye West?
