What's the oldest watch you have? And why?

I sold a variety of Swiss and non-swiss brands for a long time when I worked as a jeweller. At the same time, I developed an interest in antique jewellery and watches.

So whether is cheap or expensive, working or not, 5 years old or 100+ years old, what's the oldest watch you own? Is it a sentimental piece or something you purchased because of its model?

Just hoping to find out about some more different watches out there!

I have a watch from 1914. Sterling silver case. Solid lugs. Red "12" hour ,the rest black. Even has an engraving with the year on the back. Plus watchmakers adjustment scribbles inside. Still runs. Also a JLC dirty dozen from 1944 IIRC. And a Rolex Oyster precision from 1953.
