    Well not quite next door, but not far away from me here in Colorado. No
    telling how long it's been in the area, but I'm surely glad to have crossed
    paths. My first Jones lÄ—pine pattern "R" in a nicely decorated US 14k gold
    filled case:

    Great new one, Ben. I just love that intricate script on the dial, and the
    handsome casework.

    Very nice find Ben, great to see that these early IWC pocketwatches pop up
    from time to time and arrive in the collection of a knowledgeable collector.

    A very nice piece, congratulation.

    A funny thing ist, that this movement left Schaffhausen after F.A. jones left
    and even Mr. Seeland left it.

    The (late) movement is in the invetory of the failure 1878/1879. So it was
    sold much later.

    best regards to that watch

    Congrats Ben, very lovely addition that speaks of old-world charm. I love how
    it's still in such great shape after all this time.
