There is perhaps none more unique than the exhibition by clock-maker, Miki Eleta that was held to coincide with the week of SIHH.Arriving at the M.A.D Gallery, I was confronted by a gallery space that had been transformed yet again, and this time into some kind of magical clock wonderland. Large clocks and clock-like sculptures were to be found at every corner, and the first impression of the pieces was of an overwhelming complexity arranged in a kind of organic beauty.Die SiebenThe first piece that caught my eye was the large, almost eye height kinetic sculpture that stood near the entrance. Named "Die Sieben," it looks like a gigantic bee hive made out of sprawling wires.

Why are service dials less desireable?
