Watchlords

Not mine but I found the advert and images years ago and forgot about them.
Date to 1899.








I found these adverts that are for watches made from metal recovered from the sunken "Maine" in 1898.







Also this one from 1900, click on the image to enlarge.

Possibly the first use of "DNA" in a watch!

"You may fire when you are ready, Gridley."
Manila Bay, 1898. Commodore Dewey Cmdr. USN Pacific Squadron on board flagship USS Olympia.

Nice post bobbee. Exactly the reason I keep coming to watch lords

Look at those really early reviews... in print not on social media.
Lots to be said for print.
