Fine & Luxury Watch Exhibition by TimeCrafters in New York City Park Avenue (Seventh Regiment) Armory September 13-15 2012

If you are in the New York City area and looking for something interesting to do this week, here is a tip for natives and tourists alike.

Watches constitute a special individual status symbol around the world, while timepieces in general reflect precision technology in human culture.

(also known as the Seventh Regiment Armory -- see Google Street View)
