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!

    My oldest is an Adidas referees timer I bought when I qualified as a football referee in 1999. It has an analogue face, with digital cutouts for timing the game. I think I paid £65 for it in a 50% off sale. It still runs better than I can! Even though I don’t referee now, I should really wear it more often.

      Oh what a cool watch to have associated with a good memory. Sounds awesome!
