What’s the oldest watch you have? And why?

I sold a variety of Swiss and non-swiss brands for a long time when I worked as a jeweller. At the same time, I developed an interest in antique jewellery and watches.

So whether is cheap or expensive, working or not, 5 years old or 100+ years old, what’s the oldest watch you own? Is it a sentimental piece or something you purchased because of its model?

Just hoping to find out about some more different watches out there!

        I love it, it was my grandfather’s. I find also amazing to keep the time on an object which survived the test of time so to speak. I really like vintage watches, I have a 1970s quartz Longines, and a 1980s le monde. Sometimes in the future I would like a pre ww2 watch
