This watch is hot property!

Post by crocoite »

My old family heirloom - dates back to the late 1700s...

I photographed it on the floor by our bedroom window to get plenty of light...

I really like that last image Steve, reminds me of the work of a famous, well to me famous anyway, dutch artist Hieronymous Bosch (1450?-1516) Nice time piece and good photos of it. :D

Very cool pictures Steve. Interesting looking timepiece. How do you wind up the watch?

Betcha this is an old Key-winder. Wow!

From the title, I was looking for a photo of a watch with radium paint on the hands and numbers (and was prepared to pontificate about those, because I deal with them sometimes in my work), and I actually was thrown off for a moment by your second photo!

Thanks Doug. It requires a key. Unfortunately when I inherited it (when my grandmother passed away), I didn't inherit the key to go with it #-o
