Great effect - when the watch functions (almost never) Report this review

I'd very much welcome anyone's suggest for where to go to get this watch fixed. It blows through batteries and internal solenoid at the heart of the effect if incredibly sensitive to the pressure with which the back is attached, so it rarely works and only in its first few months was it dependable enough for performances. It's a beautiful watch but a terrible disappointment, especially at the initial price point.

While the point made about performance confidence is valid, when mine was working I got my biggest bang for the buck using a spooky coincidence, rather than psychic, angle. I'd typically get a volunteer to focus on a past event or remembered dream that referenced a moment in time, ask for the position of the minute and hour hands on their watch or wall clock at the moment remembered, and then elicit details about the event from the volunteer while the watch wound its way around to the desired time. After some details, I'd share a story about my previous night, often substituting a.m. for p.m., awaking from a dream coincidentally and knocking the watch off the bedside table, causing it to stop at the same time mentioned by the volunteer.

Again, if anyone knows where to go to get this thing repaired, please chime in. Even one of NY's finest repair shops won't touch it.
