Zenith

[Janek Sarnowski]

This is a vintage Zenith pocket watch,which i've inherited after my gread grandfather,whom i never knew.It was given to me by my great grandmother in 2006.The movement is the famous Zenith 18.28.1.PE and this particular one was made in Besancon,France.Since the factory didn't keep records of produced watches,i can't tell precisely when it was made.He wore this watch until the day he died,i even have the leather case thay my grandmother made for him.You can see the marks from where it was sawn to his jacket (last photo).

I hope you enjoy this old piece of watchmaking precision (-;

That is a loverly bit of watch miking there, look after it, why not get a glass dome and use it as a desk watch

I'm planning on making a wire stand for it,i don't really like the looks of the glass domes (-;

it will be good to stop corrosion

I keep the watch running anyway (-;

I sometimes even wear it,especially on hot days,when wearing a wristwatch can be a pain in the backside (-:
