The pocket watch with a rapid heart beat - my Seiko 5740-0080
It seems that today pocket watches tend to have a coming out at Puristspro - with Mike H earlier posting a wonderful thread on his collection (here: for his thread). So I decided to join in in a humble fashion. Watches with a beat rate of 36.000vph start...
This is cool my friend...
...but indeed you must give them wrist time, LOL, I mean you must use them but for that it obviously require at least a chain and why not a bespoke etui ! Best, Mike
I am also wondering if this will be the case eventually...
Maybe a pocket smartwatch? On a serious note, would be fun, to be honest. Diversity cannot harm Agree on the graining of the dial - definitely a feature!
The B&R looks interesting...
But the choices at the moment are limited, I guess Thanks for digging these out, Alkiro!
Yes there’s a lack of offer... and demand. That’s why, when you can, auctions give you a lot of opportunities, in my opinion, to create a nice collection of vintage pocket watches
Regarding the Bell & Ross, the most interesting thing is that it’s a minute repeater. Unfortunately, I’ve never had the opportunity to hear it chiming. Best wishes Alkiro
Thanks Giles!
That's not the one we were discussing, though. That one is yet to arrive
The UN is in NY awaiting a colleague to bring over
unfortunatly I'm full on in Europe until Xmas - & patience is not my favourite dish ;-). Cheers. Giles.
