I love how you have the custom lizard holders for them, and I don't blame you, I would too! Each of those are truly stunning watches in their own right and way
Your grandfather's watch is incredible, what quality and workmanship went into it. I see it's written in French; is it French made as well, or was it made in Switzerland and a French retailer engraved it?
Really impressed and love each of these, thanks so much for sharing!

Nice pocket watches are also exciting imho

Of course not as daily wearer but still not old fashioned I beieve. If the condition is as good as that I simply cannot resist in front of such a beautiful art deco steel watch. Did you notice the pouch covering the top of the watch ? Do you know what it ...
Firstly..... I learnt a new word... Etui

Secondly... Very good selection of pocket watches. Naturally, the family heirloom is most precious, but I am intrigued by the repeater... What make is it? Are they signed? Best, Horo
Very nice post, Mike.

You have some beauties. And I like those bespoke sleeves you had made. Food for thought.
These are superb!

Would definitely enjoy seeing more pocket watches around here - especially ones like yours 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Wonderful pieces. I wonder what is the significance of that inscription on the repeater, perhaps a souvenir? Clearly intending to be anonymous. Very glad to see someone else that occasionally wears their pocket watches in the wild
Please be aware.............

that as lovely as these pieces are in the photos, they look even better in real life. I was privileged to meet Mike and his wonderful collection in Paris earlier this week and have to say that these pocket watches were a true delight and in many ways outs...
What an impressive collection!

And their condition! WOW! Congratulations, Mike! I only have one, but also from my grandfather: ...
What a joureny!

Absolutely stunning PW's you have, my friend! The last one have a very interesting architecture, similar to the GP TGB. Thank you for sharing, I have a few PW's but none as interesting as this one! Best Blomman
That's an EXCELLENT idea!

There is something very satisfying about these arcane wonders; they have history! Tick Talk 2017 ...

It makes me want to get my two (not nearly as nice) pocket watches running and out in the world. It also makes me just the slightest bit envious... I'm pretty sure I got a boy's Timex for my first communion. Hmmm...shoulda talked to my parents about that....
