This is a beautiful watch. It's sturdy and well made. I love the face; being able to see the gears and inner workings of the watch is unique and pretty. The blue tinged hands make the time easy to read at a glance. My only reason for giving this watch four stars instead of five is that it is VERY large. It sits up on my wrist an inch and feels like more-when I have my hands resting on my desk it feels a bit awkward. It's beautiful and I get so many compliments on it that I wear it anyway. If it was just slightly thinner it would be an easy five stars.
