Beautiful. I've looked at "marriages" over the years and have seen some rippers. Are these originally wristwatches or conversions?

Hi

 

All were originally Pocket Watches with worn out or damaged cases.

I just gave these and a few others a new lease of life.

 

With modern watches getting larger, they now seem fine at 47/48mm

Smaller than a Breitling Super Avenger, same size as an IWC Big Pilot or Panerai 127 etc.

 

Amazing movements, the IWC has been serviced and regulated and is gaining about 2-3 sec per day

not bad for a movement 113 yrs old !!!!!

 

Thanks for looking

Richard

These are some beauties, I've been looking at getting a marriage watch or two - any pointers on what to look out for when purchasing?

I'm researching making adapters that are (hopefully) both beautiful and functional, to enable conversion from pocket to wrist watch. Have only recently begun but think it might be fun :)
