10 past 10?
Pocket watches... This is a matter I didn't dig, till recently.
There are a lot of things to discover and to learm from them.
For those who want to understand what is a good finish, there is nothing better than learning from a fine pocket watch.
Some technical solutions we thought to be revolutionnary, in our wristwatches, may well have some origins found in the pocket watches.
This is a topic I will come back to, but for the moment, let me thank you for these gorgeous pics, Sam.

What time is it?
For some reason I am stranded at home for 10 days.... Bored with nothing to do, I decided to play around with this vintage beauty - a MR chronograph pocket watch manufactured over 100 years ago. Can you tell what time it is from the video? Now, turn on yo...
It's almost lunchtime Sam....
12.58pm. Sorry you can't come out to play. That's a beautiful MR, sounds good too; glad you are enjoying it. cheers fernando
100 years old...
... and looking young as ever! Awesome photos in showing the full beauty of this pocket watch! Sam, your MR is looking like new! Is it very well kept or did you manage to get a perfect restoration job done? I've also looked into some pocket watches but it...
Thx. I acquired this piece via Antiquorum
about 18 months ago. Since then, I had it serviced but it was already in immaculate condition. I was told the movement is probably by Jaeger with a Geneva seal but cannot be 100% sure about it. In any case, I love this toy Cheers Sam

LOL....Fernando was correct....12:58
can't tell whether it was lunch time or past midnight though. Naturally, Ogygia took those pictures and video... Eventually, I will get one with a perpetual calendar and one with a beautiful enamel case...though I am not in a hurry Best Sam
Indeed there is a chrono function
and the long seconds hand is activated by the monopusher at 12 o'clock, which in turn releases/stops the mechanisms on the lower left side of the third and fourth picture showing the movement. There is, however, no minutes counter. Best Sam
My pleasure!
After seeing Cazalea's excellent work using the Mac annotation tool and him telling me about it, I've found it very useful! Happy to oblige, Cheers, Tim
Beautiful watch
that seems in a very good condition. I'll join what was said just above, I think that we should pay more attention to pocket watches as there movement is worth oberving, and for an unbeatable price compared to wrist watches. Your MR Chrono is beautiful th...
Thanks Sam for showing us........
Your very beautiful MR. The chimes are crystal clear Regards Tony
