Pocket Watch
My wife found this beautiful little pocket watch in a charity shop quite some time ago and it lay forgotten in a drawer until I was rooting around looking for something to photograph.
I was impressed by the lovely decoration of the case and the watch face. It is hallmarked sterling silver. In this image it is around three times life size!
I've wound it up a little and it seems to be working, but it obviously needs a serious clean and service. If you view large you'll see some dust and hairs underneath the glass, as well as the gorgeous painted circle of flowers.
I plan on taking it to a professional to have it looked at and see how expensive it will be to sort it out as we think it is something our granddaughter would like.

Thanks for the info Keith and it's a beautiful picture.
We went to Chichester today and tried about six shops who advertised watch servicing and repairs and none of them would take it on saying it was too specialised, spares wouldn't be available and the cost would be too great (one suggested over £200 and another around £400)..!!
I shall have to go online and have a look in a couple of the antique watch forums to see if I can find someone. The movement seems to be working(ish) but the hands don't move.
It may be a lost cause, but I won't give up just yet!
