Grandad's Gold Watch

Absolutely beautiful !

A proper watch that can be wound up, and doesn't need a battery. Do you wear it Keith?

I wear it occasionally Amelia............as a dress watch.

Literally, the hands of time!
What a lovely piece it is, Keith. Lovely to wear it for ‘best’ occasions!

wonderful oldie:)

how simple, but sooooo beautiful
I hate this modern multitask watches, big and pretencious..........:)

The wear and tear shows that it was worn and enjoyed Keith. You have just reminded me that I have a collection of my mother's and father's watches. I should think about doing something similar to your lovely picture on a wet and windy day....I have to pick the granddaughter up from school today. I think I may get wet ;-)

What a lovely memento of your grandad. You've photographed it so well, setting it off perfectly. I still have my mother's watch which is a wind up one but no longer works.

_██_ Lovely capture, well done. Have a great evening. Snow has arrived here.

Eine CO²-neutrale Uhr mit Bio-Antrieb ;-) Da sie von Hand aufgezogen wird, braucht sie keine Batterie und schont die Resourcen unseres Planeten. Ich besitze nur mechanische Uhren, meistens mit Automatik-Aufzug. Sie haben einen Glasboden, so dass man beobachten kann, wie sie arbeiten.
Ein schönes Stück, Keith! Behalte sie in Ehren.

A beautiful watch nicely captured Keith
from memory I think Rolex were involved with these watches.,
(may be worth a look up)

Tudor used to be owned by Rolex and used some of the same parts and cases etc. Nowadays they're more of a "partner" company to Rolex and use their own parts and movements. They do some very high quality watches, most of which are only slightly less expensive than Rolex.

Precious with a treasured memory Keith.

beautiful souvenir

Super capture Keith, great on the black background. Glad you use it for special occasions.

Thank you all so much for your kind and generous comments. The rainy weather is forcing me to look around and see what I've got suitable for taking photos of!

Merci Keith de nous faire partager ce souvenir familial.. En ce temps là, la mécanique était solide. Amicalement. Jean Paul

Glad you like it Jean Paul............thanks for stopping by!

That's just marvelous, Keith! I'll bet he was very proud of his career and this symbol of a job well done.

Thanks for your kind words Diane. Yes, he was very proud of his work. He would have been heartbroken to see how UK shipbuilding has been run down over the years :-(

It´s wonderful on black Keith...appreciation and a wonderful memory for you!
I like wind up watches...it´s our energy that keeps them going :)
