One word- humidity?

How would humidity affect the timing of this watch? Poise errors created by expanding, ovalizing wood of balance,
the possibilities are endless.
I would be very afraid to wear this, even the sweat from your arm would eventually contaminate and rot it.
If we look at it as an art piece, however, and not something for practical wear, due to its makeup and inherent
qualities for error, much less termites, this is an AMAZING piece.
Hats off for showing it can be done! Now I'll have to one up him- and make a watch completely of stone or glass

Well, we have green cars and now a green watch (well actually brown) :) I can only marvel at such artist and ingenious spirit and the fact that it only is inaccurate by about 2 minutes every 24 hours! it's amazing. Bravo l'artiste! Cheers Francois
