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 a mid-50s JLC Memovox that belonged to my father. I sent it back to them to overhaul, and while it was expensive, I don’t regret it for a minute, as it’s such a sentimental, and beautiful piece. And now it runs quite well. I’m wearing it today to the JLC pop-up, in fact. But I don’t wear it out in the rain.
