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 have an old Hamilton that was my grandad’s as well. It’s like the space race as they went from pocket watches to wrist watches and had the “look how small we can do this” mentality. Even too small for my wife, so I wear it.
