My first love has always been pocketwatches. I guess I have around 50 of them all vintage or just about all.

Back in the day for many, a pocketwatch was the most valuable thing they owned and was a treasured item to be passed down.

Usually a gold watch meant a man of means. The common folk strived for a sterling silver watch.

The best watches were made here in the U.S and even if the watch is 100 years old with proper care and service it will run just as good today as when it came off the production line.
