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 would love to hear more about both, but I do have an absolute weakness for pocket watches! So please feel free to nerd out about the Elgin :D 1880’s is still the 11 jewel movement era isn’t it?
