...maybe figure a way to put a strap on it...

Not for me.

To me, a pocket watch is meant for the "pocket."

I mention it because...

 
 By: mdg : January 8th, 2022-06:16
...some of the early wristwatches were pocket watches that were adapted with a strap.

I wouldn't know.

I bought it like that (sealed).

One of the best unboxings ever!

This really took me by surprise. Is this pocket watch representative of other pocket watches? The size is so small, so I wonder how practical it was for use.

It was made for ladies, so certainly not representative of the men's pieces.

 
 By: Signo : January 8th, 2022-01:26
I think at that time most ladies used it as a necklace or pendant (as seen in the referenced magazine pics above).

Ah, fascinating. Thank you!

I didn’t realize that was what you were demonstrating with the pics…I thought you were being artistic. I appreciate the historic significance.

Excellent piece. My wife has a similar piece, although slightly larger, gifted by me to her on the birth of our first child.

It's a beautiful rose gold with an enamel dial. The condition of your piece is terrific. Thanks for sharing so many great pictures. Cheers, John

She's lucky!

I had to buy mine for myself. Please share some pics.

Nice pocket watch and coins

just wonder

Is it a porcelain dial ?

Close, but..

 
 By: Signo : January 8th, 2022-16:01
it's enamel.

Now that is really nice.

 
 By: grigo : January 8th, 2022-08:37
Enjoy.

Only when...

 
 By: Signo : January 8th, 2022-16:00
serviced by an authorized Patek Philippe service center.

I got it last time during the service of an Aquanaut.

 
 By: Signo : January 8th, 2022-21:06
I think it has to do with whether you ask for it. Sometimes, when the service takes longer than usual, or something happens during the warranty period, they give it without you asking.

Thanks, this helps a lot!

Beautiful!

Enjoy it! I'm waiting to take my Solvil Paul Ditisheim to the watchmaker soon! In the meanwhile... ...  

Now that is special

 
 By: Jad : January 8th, 2022-16:31
And do you really carry it with your key?? BTW I would do it 😀

Yes I use it as a key-chain.

 
 By: Signo : January 8th, 2022-17:02
My wife also uses it sometimes as a bag charm.

Super cool 😎

 
 By: holdemchamp1225 : January 8th, 2022-22:07

Wow 🤩 such a small pocket watch !!!👍

 
 By: GLau : January 9th, 2022-13:44
Perhaps you can change it into a wrist watch ??🤣

Nah..

 
 By: Signo : January 29th, 2022-05:31
Cuz then I wouldn't be able to use it as a key-chain =P ...  

:) Good one!
