Marc, i'm very pleased to hear you'll be keeping
it. i hope you will pass it to one of your children and your childrens
children.
it would be very interesting to see who has the
oldest watch passed down or more appropriately the watch passed down through the
most generations. we hear about Grandfathers watches such as yours but rarely
hear of great grandfathers or older.
i have an 18th C grandfather clock my father
passed to me when i was 40, sadly the weights cord snapped recently and broke of
one of the edges of the escapement so i need to have it repaired.
he also has a 9ct gold presentation watch. its a
Vertex and he's had it years. i'm hoping i might get that as well. no one else
in the family are interested in the mechanical timepiece.
your grandfather had great taste and was way
ahead of his time as the turn-o-graph is still a very popular
model.
best
Graham
