Most definitely! It runs when I pick it up. I'm afraid to try winding or setting it. It hasn't run since the 70s.

The round mark is a tiny chip in the crystal. The light must have hit it just right; it is almost impossible to see with the naked eye. Looks like an impact crater, like from the tip of a finishing nail. I presume each day is numbered for those who don't speak English. Tuesday is day 2. Lots of...
