That might be Humphrey Bogart (aka Bogie)? If so, do you know who Vera was! You have offered us a “cliffhanger”.

Like so many of those folks, Bogie got around, didn’t he? The outrageous lifestyles pursued by his ilk, must have been of value to their careers.

·Yes, I have.... it has consumed my life. Owning this watch is a direct connection with history as many vintage watches do as that's why we own them, but owning Humphrey Bogart's very personal watch is mind blowing to me everyday. Google is a great place to start... and the rabbit hole just get's bigger

·oldest working and in use... 1879 Illinois Miller. Its got a huge balance and a "slow train", four beats rather than the usual five per second, so it sounds like an idling diesel.
