    Sometimes when it rains, it pours. I haven't bought a pocket watch in many months, and three have fallen into my lap in the past two weeks.

    This one is a Jones --a relatively late one, circa 1875. It's the Lepine model shown on right in these images, to complement my more commonly-found Hunter Jones shown at left.

    Regards,
    Michael

    Very nice!

    Hi Michael,

    That's a great catch, good thing your lap was there to avoid them falling any further.

    Kind regards,

    Clemens

    I think the only disappointment is...

    that the Uhren pocketwatch virus has struck again. Nice pickups!

    Congratulations on your historic additions to your collection.

    Congratulations, Michael

    Might it be time for you to revise your "small pocketwatch collection" article in view of your recent, rather excellent, additions?

    Perhaps a project for the new year, after the SIHH ...
