Two golden oldies.
As seen before, the pocket watch was my grandfather's and the Hamilton
is a retirement presentation watch from 1967, it was my wife's grandfather's.
I have been carrying the pocket watch a lot recently, along with wearing a
wristwatch. I am comparing it's timekeeping to some of my modern watches.
It runs to the minute alongside my DateJust, almost to the second too. I will
compare it at the end of the day and see how it did against the Hamilton,
which is also an excellent timekeeper.
