Right now, an 1890 french pocketwatch, which I’m still in the process of repairing. Not far off is the 1910 Illenois pocketwatch that I built to be a nice carry.
I bought the movement first, because it seemed to be in decent condition, was of high quality, and very nicely decorated. The dial that was on it was good, had a very nice design, and would clean up well.
I bought a gold plated case for it after I restored the movement (there was more wrong with it than I thought, but I got it done) and now it runs, keeps time well, and I do wear it from time to time.
