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!
Poljot handwound 30 Jewels, I wanna say from the 60s or 70s that my grandfather had, but unfortunately, I never enquired more about that particular piece, only what I was able to find from the internet.
Oh yeah that was during the jewel-stuffing of watchmaking, where they just wanted to get as many jewels packed in the movements as they could, even using them as roller bearings for rotors! Love the quirkyness of that period
