One of my Grandfathers pocket watches. The watch was neglected for many years. I found the watch in a junk drawer at my Moms house. The crystal was missing along with the hands. After Grandpa passed away no one in the family wanted the watch so it was just chucked into a junk drawer in Moms kitchen.

18k white gold hand carved swing out case. Paul Ditisheim movement sold by Depollier NY. I found the watch hands hour and minute hands in the bottom of the drawer. I installed a new crystal and left the watch in as found condition. I had the watch serviced. It's a shame the dial was damaged while sitting in the drawer but it could have been much worse. I like to carry this watch during Easter weekend it reminds me of Grandpa.
Great story, Happy Easter!
