It's both fascinating and thought-provoking. A keepsake restoration indeed.

If there's one person that deserves to work on a watch like that, it's you The Zigmeister!

Long time friend, that is passing it on to the next family generation, and wanted it restored and running...

Lest we forget.

The Canadian Army did some amazingly difficult work on Vimy Ridge.

I salute them.

Indeed they did. I visited Vimy Ridge this summer and it's impossible to comprehend what the conditions must have been like when you stand in the original trenches or walk through the tunnels the troops used to live in.

We shall remember them.

What a great tribute...and really, I can't think of a better person to restore such a fitting tribute. Not only a technical master, but somebody who has a real appreciation of its history. A fantastic, tangible reminder for the next generation to be thankful for all we have today!!

Wow... It's amazing to think of the things this watch has seen in it's lifetime... A symbol to reflect on every Rememberance Day.

Thanks for sharing, R.
