Cheesy

This could have been so much better. A serious subject and it could be delivered as timeless documentary but it comes across as a child's show with a voice over you would hear on a kids made for TV Christmas movie.

GREAT Docmentary

Superb insight into the history of timepieces, as well as an illuminating picture of an important figure in the creation of some of the world's most exquisite watches. John Rhys-Davies is terrific as the narrator.
