Such a fantastic piece. There is not much material about the adventures of those wwII watches, sadly.

I will try to work on an article one day. But I agree, there is not much literature on these WWW.

i own one small book, but without any personal stories in it.

the most interesting thing i learned is that Vacheron made watches for the Wehrmacht.
