Another 100

Hi friends,

you know my tradition - every 100th post should show a not so common example from my collection... it is showtime again...

I have realized that I have been a bit lazy since my 1K post - my apologies!

Today I decided to take an uncommon piece and for all "rectangular lovers", among those is Art (Dr. No) for sure   I know he owns a terrific

example.

Here is an early watch with special movable lugs. The movable parts are held by some kind of claws which give the case an unusual shape. 

Have a closer look at the hands! Aren´t they lovely?

 Inside ticks a round movement of Cal 23,7, a quite common movement in the late 20ies and 30ies.

Last night I bought another similar watch but in silver as it seems (the seller was not able to provide further details).

Although it is in bad condition and a restoration project I decided to pull the trigger as it suits perfectly in my "rectangular theme"

and it went for a low price.

As you can see this has only 2 claws. It will join 2 other examples with 2 claws I already have and I will show the triple once the

restoration is finished.

Be prepared for a terrific picture thread then - the 2 other watches are somewhat special - but this will be a later story

Enjoy the pictures!
