Pocket Watch

Post by smellody » Fri Apr 26, 2024 7:26 pm

My pal Rich @ https://www.timetitans.com/ hooked me up with this amazing pocket watch.

Probably 100 years old, Rolex had won 7 world records at the time of manufacturing.

Amazing dial work. Even more memorizing in person. Purpled hidden mickey hands.

Winds as smoothly as a new watch. Thin and elegant.

Found an interesting article about the pattern on the hands.

Super-cool watch!

And cool thread; interesting stuff about the architecture of the transept cathedrals and the hands on that watch. Awesome.
