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.

What a beautiful collection of pocket watches.

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...

Absolutely splendid my friend. They’re all really nice and in very good condition. You’re our “PuristS pocket watch dandy” (I didn’t say daddy 😉)

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

I thought, Great! A pocket-watch post I can add pictures to...

 
 By: rdenney : November 18th, 2017-16:21
...but my two Elgins and the Hamilton 992B would be mighty poor cousins of the watches shown here. Any chance of detailed movement pictures of the first two shown here? --Rick

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!

I found your pictured pleasure journey, as you mentioned your post just now, in response to Nico‘s post at JLC.. These are pure joy, having a history, no doubt. All are great, but your favourite, your grandfather‘s passed onwards over three generations , ... 

Wow! These are beautiful.

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.... 

wow, this has to be one of the best posts I have ever seen on this entire forum, so incredibly cool!

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 w...
