My Pocket Watch Collection

Hi !

This is my Pocket Watch Collection: Vacheron, Favre-Leuba, Berthoud, Piaget, Movado, Ducret, Girod, Rosquelle, B. D. Mc Guill, Denifart, Couratin, Universal Geneve, Lip, Elgin, Nivia...

I'm not really a collector. They belonged to my father, who was a great person and a great collector.

Greetings from here my dad!

Ok, this popped up in my brain. A monocle, top hat and a cane.

Anyway, They must feel so nice in your hands!

I only have one in my pocket watch dome. I got it 27 years ago. Only used it for about a year, then nothing. It's a wind-up and I'm thinking about using it again.

What a nice collection. And I thought I was lucky with two Elgin pocket watches, one each, from my grandfathers!

Great collection, I always favoured pocket watches when I was " in the game " .Should have bough a lot more considering the numbers through my hands.

A great way to treasure your father.
