Hi all, I ended up with the Pallweber RG wristwatch
Hi all, I ended up with the Pallweber wristwatch Instead of getting the pocket watch. I bid on one at the Sotheby’s auction and won it. I don’t believe there’s another one for sale anywhere so I am happy. Everyone have a wonderful weekend… Jim

Big congrats but... 😉
I think it is important to note that the name is Pallweber and not Pall Weber. The Pallweber pocket watches are named after the Austrian watchmaker Josef Pallweber, who patented his invention in 1883, and licensed it to IWC.
Yes IWC it us Pallweber and I know the whole story
There is not much I do without fully researching it but thanks for the reminder…Jim
Thanks Fab, I won it but haven’t heard back from Sotheby's yet!
I own the blue dial one as well, they are wonderful digital time watches and at 45mm, with the welded lugs even fit my wife Russetta!
Many congrats,
for me that’s a very beautiful watch and here I like your white dialed version in the RG case more than the steel version with blue dial. And I think you made the right decision since in daily life a wristwatch is more practicable. Is your Pallweber an un...
Hi Thomas I got the watch from a Sotheby’s auction
I don’t know the exact provenance yet but will once I receive the watch and paperwork, it is in great condition but from another collector. I paid well under retail even with the buyers premium so I feel good about it…Jim

Congrats my friend. Very rare beast. Albeit there are around for sale. Fun to win the pocket watch and get the watch model. A mistake that turn into a surprise. I bet i would go for a watch. The blue in white gold looks stunning in my opinion. The size is...
Thank you Weems…
The blue dial one is in stainless steel, they also made 50 platium ones. The 45mm is big like a pocket watch but the watch, with the curved down wore lugs, fits very very well. You can read about the history on Google if you search it…Jim
A grail for some years
When i was not so rude about sizes. When time comes, collecting, and growing, the wrist size, sweet spot came. So with my 19cm wrist 42 and 43mm became the size. This is only a guide, so i can decide to buy a bigger than 43mm watch if the watch is a uniqu...
Really good decision
The pocket watch is a really amazing piece, but this one you will wear and use much more. And this white dial version is just breathtaking. Huge congrats. GEO
Hi GEO, agreed and why I went the way I did
The nice thing, believe it or not, is my wife loves it and wears the blue dial one. The curved down wired lugs makes it fit a much smaller wrist albeit a big face. Best of al worlds with the jumping hours and Minutes…Jim
