    I live in an Art Deco building (completed in 1930) near Lake Michigan. I've thrown in a few of my contemporaneous watches at the end.

    Congratulations. You're the first person I've ever met who've matched his watches to his residence!

    Literally! My fascination with '20s-30s Hamiltons (in particular) date back to about the time I moved into this building, 20 years ago.

    The series is really well done and there are some great art deco buildings and interiors used in the filming.
