·My oldest. English, sterling silver case, key wind, key set, 7-jewels, English lever with fusee, hallmarked London, 1872-73. Movement is anonymous, but the case was made by Robert John Pike, Cromwell House, Cromwell Street, Coventry, founded 1870. Roman numerals and minutes chapter ring decoration on the dial are 18-karat gold. The hands are blued steel, original, and the style is called “beetle and poker”. Unusual to find a 149 year old watch with matching, original hands. Particularly delicate style hands.

·Oldest in my collection (not just for chronological age but also I got it when I was 13 years old) is a double cased silver fusee from 1877. The case made by John Harris of Coventry but no clue who made the movement. Sadly it was running when I got it but my prying 13 year old fingers couldn’t help but want to see how it worked and I broke the chain.
Anyone know someone in the states who loves working on fusee movements?

··Wow! Custom title... coolA 2639-1 from 1950 or 51 originally purchased by my grandfather. He was in the Danish resistance during WWII and up until the early 60s had some crates full of weapons hidden in the attic. The woman he married after my grandmother died told him to toss the stuff so down it went in a nearby bog. Wonder which one… 🙄

·Mine is this 1922 Elgin although it started life as a pocket watch
So maybe this 1947ish 2367-4
