astonjenks Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 It might be a phase or am i one of only a few that thinks these older, circa 1900 movements from pocket watch era are simply amazing? I have a new wristwatch case being made for this to be housed in and with Rose Gold Hands and winder and display caseback think they make an amazing watch that is simply quite unique and at the cost of a decent rep a worthwhile addition to a collection. I have one for sale on the forum under gen watches which received some great comments yesterday. Regards AJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B3nj4min3 Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 I'm with you on this. I think these older movements look magnificent. Coupled with those ornate and delicate hands you end up with a very unique and desirable time piece (imo). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMM Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 I know absolutely nothing about this topic generally, but the movement pictured is awesome. Amazing that it's 112 years old and it still looks like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astonjenks Posted July 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 This is a very similar vintage Glasshute that is currently being rebuilt by the watchsmith, note the diamond in the hour hand, all hands are solid rose gold! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gran Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Movementsare simple but fine but the dials and hands is the true gems on these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astonjenks Posted July 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 So this one has an amazing movement being an early 20th Century chronograph and quarter repeater, thsi is having a rose gold case made to match its NOS Rose Gold Hands, Crown and Repeater button.

B3nj4min3 Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 All I can say about that movement is wow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astonjenks Posted July 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 I thought that when I bought her and even more so when she was in my hands! She was just over $600 before servicing etc but when finished in the new case and so on will look incredible! I will post photos when she is completed.

astonjenks Posted July 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 I thought and hoped you'd like this one. The last one i have being rebuilt and cased is a really unusual watch in as much that it has a chrono front and the rear it has a porcelain dial with two more hands for day and date of the month. It is being fully rebuilt along with re porcelain ed dials front and rear, pictures will follow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
