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....

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

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...
