··Not in LA anymore.Well, it has been returned to the family of the original owner. The watch was presented on September 27, 1920, as an award. The inner cuvette was engraved with all the details, and his name. He never used it. It was left to his son, same name, and he never used it. He, in turn, left it to his son, same name, and he never used it. To day, the great grandson of the original owner picked it up after I serviced it. He has the same name as the three previous owners! The third generation owner is now deceased. It is now in the hands of the fourth generation. The watch is now back in the original owner’s family, 6 days short of the original presentation date, 101 years ago. And to think that the watch was brought to me for repair decades ago, and the (then) owner declined the estimate, and never picked it up! I could have added it to my collection, and the family would have been none the wiser. Strangely, I feel good about letting it go!
Quite an amazing story, with a very satisfactory ending.
