WATCH-CASE PHONOGRAPH
Called the world’s tiniest talking machine, a miniature phonograph has been built into the case of a watch. When wound by the watch stem, a small spring mechanism turns a midget record. Sound is reproduced through a diminutive horn.
An i-Phonograph!

How many seconds of sound would the mini record hold?
