·Hello!
My name is Lovisa and I´m a student from Sweden. My love for antiques goes deep and is something I will probably never recover from 😉
I´ve always had an interest in pocket watches, so this Christmas I got one from my dad!
My dad bought the watch in 1972 when he was about 22 years old from a friend, and he's had it in a drawer since.
It´s fully functional and works like a charm.
I´ve tried to do some research, but I´m having trouble knowing what´s true, so that´s why I´m writing here.
Someone who owned it before my father or his friend has `engraved` "År 1908" (It´s Swedish for "The Year 1908") and a bit further down we think it says "Albert Fransson".
According to Google, the watch has both german and swiss marks (the coq de bruyère and the Halbmond und Reichskrone I think)
I´ve tried to find pictures online of watches that look like mine, but they never match.
So what I want to know is: if its fake or real, Age, History if possible, where it's from and what the 0/O under the 7 digit nr means
Thank you in advance for any information!
Here are some pictures of the watch
