Incoming vintage (cufflinks)

Something a little different. My wife bought me these recently for our 10 year wedding anniversary. Steel cufflinks with vintage 620 movements inside! Non running of course but I love them! Hopefully a cool talking point for those horologically inclined and a nod to the affliction we all share :)

Movement is 17.5x2.5mm and the total cufflink is about 2cm diameter.

You guys and your damn metric system!! .

Metric system be damned I still think they’re cool as heck. Do you know where they came from?

Ha, sorry :) they are what I would say are "standard" circular cufflink size if that helps. Perhaps a tiny bit bigger.

Link here. I have no affiliation and they have other styles too. Cost was a reasonable £350 all things considered.
