Very nice fish scale pattern. Top-notch.


Love the Gothic font and double sunk dial, too.

Giant back leap in time for my collection. My great grandfather's watch, according to the carry-forward information, bought in 1895 after his graduation. A Swiss movement pretending to be English 😀, recently handed over to me for care.

Recently acquired National pocket watch, 1896 according to the Pocket Watch Database, surpassed my Omega by 21 years. I’d love to know its story

Probably this one. The watchmaker mentioned that the watch has the AS485 movement, dates around 1925-30.

Vertex Revue that belonged to my grandfather. The engraving on the back dates it to 1955.
