It was stolen from me 10 years ago In a house break In and yesterday i Got a visit by The police which gave it back to me it was found In a yard sale In a polish town which was bought by a old watchsmith and he found The engraving on The back interesting he decided to search to find out more about it two years later he's search finally gave something a old family three of my family online showed The engraving on top of The three it was the crest of my family he Then decided to look Into it more contacting The churchs arxhives and Got more info about my family and found out it was reported stolen In 2005 he Then tried to find members of my Living family and get In contact but wasnt succesful he Then decided to contact The Danish police where they with great joy handed over something that no money ever Can buy a piece of my origin a piece of my history

They gave me a note he wrote to me explaining he's story

Mr Bartkowiak Will forever be in my heart and Will forever be in he's depth

That is a great story!! Amazing how some folks intellectual curiosity will compel them to read and research far more than the average person. Luckily for you your watch was fated to fall into the hands I'd such a person. Great that you got it back, and kudos to the curious watchmaker who made it possible.
