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!
Omega dynamic from 1969, because I wanted a cool vintage piece that wasn’t the same as 99% of everyone else’s collection, and also a 1977 Accurist, which was a watch my mother bought for my grandad with her first pay as an adult.
Both of them still keep perfect time, which is bonkers in my mind!
