For a quick refresher on how and why we select more than one room for each ranking, please check out the earlier post on this site for "Number Nine". It's also worth mentioning that no site or venue played AFTER the beginning of the first of the ten ranking posts (prior to August 2019), are automatically excluded from the list. Unfortunately the phrase, "better luck next year", has to be used here. So...the Number TWO Ranked Rooms/Venues Belong to:
70+ Room Enthusiast Selected: "Captain Spoopy Bones and the Magnificent Quest for Some Other Pirate's Treasure" at Doldrick's Escape Room (Kissimmee, FL)**
One of the 20+ Room Enthusiasts selected "Super Bomb Squad: Commandos Awesome" at Doldrick's Escape Room (Kissimmee, FL)
The Other 20+ Room Enthusiast Selected: "The Hatch" at Escape FLA (Largo, FL)**
100+ Room Enthusiast(s) Selected: "Protocol Zero" at Escape Artists (Sanford, FL)
**Full review can be found on this site
Congratulations to these rooms and congratulations to Doldrick's for finding TWO of their games on the Number TWO Ranking. We love this venue and look forward to what they bring us in the future.
The hope and the intent is that for anyone reading this can kind of see a pattern and or see which rooms consistently were ranked higher or lower on this list. However, we must say that we all found these rooms to be great.
Just like the balance wheel, the gongs and hammers sit above the gorgeous fumé dial, and there's a tiny hand-painted white gold panda holding some headphones up so it can DJ the turntables sitting on top of the gongs for the repeater. If you want to see the time link (who does that with link a watch anyway?), the hours and minutes are link displayed directly on the dial via subtly elegant small leaf-shaped hands at 2 o'clock.
Keep in mind, too, that there are generally several different ways to apply the same finish. A lot of link the decoration you see on less expensive movements is machine-applied – partly or totally automated. At link the high end, though, each of those same link decorative techniques can be done by hand, which is a whole different ball game.

Sure, you link don't get the smoothness of a sweeping seconds hand, but you do get something else that's kind of satisfying: You can watch the seconds hand tick forward each second, always landing exactly on the second marker. I'll grant that it's not as soothing as that sweet sweeping seconds, but it's not link as bad as we sometimes make link it out to be.
But Toledano and Chan are watch creators in their own right. While the sculptural designs of industry doyens link Genta and Grima served as heady visual stimulus, the B/1.2 design was also a product of the duo's own architectural instincts: "There was negative space left in the case that left the option for continuing the design but in an unexpected way." Toledano explained, "You have this empty space that is available for construction. It's almost like link land air link rights on an apartment building."
