You'll likely find it's short for Horace, often used as a term of endearment for younger male family members or junior male staff members.

In common usage when I was younger and I imagine still in the English speaking vernacular today.

I presume derived from the Latin poet but like many English slangs mixed with another common word 😀

Perhaps: "What did Horace say, Winnie?" from an old time British radio program, "Ovaltiney's Concert Party?"

Old school today. I really like the raised pips and the numerals font on this dial.

Cal 360 extra-plat, c.1949, French case. Luvverly.
Beautiful piece. I have a 361 I very much enjoy.

Am on the "prep" side of a colonoscopy set for this afternoon. 😲 😲 😲 Not a good time to ask for my "reaction" to your nice watches! 😁 Catch ya on the flip side...

During my last trip to California, I was able to acquire a very nice piece from one of our dear members.

It's almost unpleasantly cool and damp here today. Was sitting on the back porch trying to decide if a cardio-walk is in order. I think it is.

Wrist is sore after a fall on the ice. 37mm Wakmann on a soft Watch Steward MN strap is a comfortable combo.
