Owning a vintage watch is great, understanding its place in Horology is MAGNIFICENT!

Do I need more ephemera on wristwatches? No, really I have original pictures from 1900. That said - I posted this original photograph signed 1916 a while back. Shows an Austrian soldier from WWI with pistol and bayonet. Look closely his wrist - a wristwatch - and a pretty large timepiece - maybe 38mm or larger. OR Blown up by Chip Anyway take a look at this one - I can practically read the time from it German WWI fieldgrey Soldier of IR 136 with Military Watch 1917 Studio Photo This is not a wristlet, but an original MAMMOTH wristwatch. I liked it a lot!

Very impressive. Back then the men were made of iron and the ships (some of the older ones anyway) made of wood. I like their watches, too...
