Patek Chronometro Gondolo
I've recently purchased a Patek Philippe Chronometro Gondolo pocket watch, made around 1905. These watches were made to the specification of Gondolo & Labouriau of Rio, Brazil. At the time they were the world's largest Patek retailer and requested some unusual features, winding by crown or key, 9ct rose gold wheel train and a micro-regulator.
I love the simple appearance of this watch, the movement is beautiful! Despite being almost 100 years old it still runs well and keeps good time.
