I recently picked up this little "G. Falconer & Co. Hong Kong" marked watch sporting a nice little swing lug silver case and an unmarked movement. This one will probably go to my daughter once I get it sorted.
My Grandfather's Hamilton given to him for 25 years of service to Pabst Brewing. It is one of my prized possessions, but due to the size it doesn't get much wrist time. I thought I would like it more on leather, but just recently put the gold bracelet back on. I break it out for milestone moments only these days.
A number of decades ago, women wore much smaller watches than currently seems to be the fashion. Mrs. C prefers watch fashions from an earlier time. I’ll show some that I have collected on her behalf. Several of these are in 14-karat gold cases that I paid scrap prices for. Followed by (in some instances) a lot of work to return them to health. The Mars (the second one) is one that my late father gave his mother in 1929. The fourth one (a tiny 14-karat white gold Omega with a pastel blue faceted synthetic sapphire crystal) is her favourite. Followed by her Rolex Lady-Date. Three of hers are Omegas
