ubiquitous Posted August 15, 2008 Report Posted August 15, 2008 Looks great! Interesting movement; was this a pocket watch converted to wristwatch?
panera Posted August 15, 2008 Author Report Posted August 15, 2008 They call it transera watch or somting... Here is the comparision wit other big watch
orionz Posted August 15, 2008 Report Posted August 15, 2008 great watch. it has the kind of vintage feel and look.
Pugwash Posted August 15, 2008 Report Posted August 15, 2008 They're known as "Marriage" watches. They take pocket-watch movements and dials and transplant them into custom-made cases. You'll sometimes see IWC and Omega Marriage watches made from old pocket watches.
Dani Posted August 15, 2008 Report Posted August 15, 2008 I think its looks great Enjoy it. Cheers, Dani
USMC8404 Posted August 15, 2008 Report Posted August 15, 2008 I think its looks great Enjoy it. Cheers, Dani I think it looks great too, if you want to wear a clock on your wrist...It would look better hanging on my livingroom wall. Way to big in MHO.

Pugwash Posted August 16, 2008 Report Posted August 16, 2008 I LOVE it how does someone go about get something like that? Search European eBay sites for Marriage Watch.
relaxman Posted August 16, 2008 Report Posted August 16, 2008 Search European eBay sites for Marriage Watch. thanks puggy
Watchmeister Posted August 16, 2008 Report Posted August 16, 2008 Very nice example. I am sure most people know but for those who don't Moser is the predecessor/partner to IWC. There are a few folks on ebay who specialize in making these.
