Just think, back in the days when names like Hamilton, Waltham and Elgin were king, this went on every day in thousands of shops all across the country.
And Rolex was nobody.
I have a Waltham pocket watch that belonged to my granddad. My mom had it cleaned and sent it to me several years ago. It fluctuates about 45 minutes, so I don’t carry it, but it’s really cool to watch it work, and listen to the ticking.
