The Watch That’s Been with you (or Family) The Longest

My Mother’s first anniversary gift to my father in January 1952. Sadly, the dial experienced a wee dent back in the late 50’s/early 60’s.

This Bulova Accutron 214 was a gift from my father is 1964. Not my first watch (WescloxDax), nor my second (Westclox wrist watch, nor my third (a Bulova automatic), but my fourth. Still looks and runs like new. Maintained by me for 62 years. Worn the day we married in 1966, worn at Expo 67 in Montreal, worn when our son was christened in 1971, worn on our 60th and 61st anniversaries, and it will be worn later today, just because! On second thought, by not now? This one has been worn on most of the significant events in all the years I’ve owned it.
