A bit of vintage for a change......

[Vvroom]

Evening chaps,

I've always liked jump hour/direct read watches and have a couple of examples from the 1930s. This one from the 1950s caught my eye. 32mm ish so it's very much on the small side. Have attached a few photos for comparison sake. I'll change the strap and can see myself enjoying this as a novelty.

Thanks, it is one of my favourites. Photographs really well on that strap!

Wow that's different and very quirky. Does the case open up at all ?
And yes loving the JLC

Yes, the watch to the right of that image isn't correct. elvis' watch is the oblong version of my Lord Elgin. At the same time they offered a ''golf ball' version too which is just like my 'chevron' watch but with a dimpled case (to look like a golf ball)

Only the back of the watch opens. Here it is:
