Tonny's wonderful Virtual Pocket Watch Museum and all the fantastic
contributions added to that thread, prompted me show another oddity!
The little known Portuguese Table Watch ;-)
It comes with a beautiful faux walnut case
And of course the usual box and papers
I know who among us have these wonderful pieces in their collections!!!!
Let's show them :o)
Hi Mark,
This is mine : cal
67.
Not
the condition of yours, but made in the same manner.
These table watches or paper weights were never made by IWC but they are
after-market products.

Here's mine:
Absolutely stunning novelty there Adrian - I love the dial and the movement is
amazing
I am so glad you were able to get yours going again Clem ;-)
WOW that's an awesome piece Adrian!!
Wow, they are true beauties, really amazing.
By the ovious exception of the one of Adrian van der Meijden, they have Quarz-
Movements, right?
I also have two table watches with Quarz-Movements, an Aquatimer and an
Ingenieur.
Greetings and stay healthy everyone

Adrian - your watch is the real McKoy !
Absolutely stunning - no battery required!
No Portuguese but rather a Pilot of sorts....
Wow, Adrian, that cal. 67 example is quite amazing - do you know when it was
assembled like that and for what purpose originally? Was it a special event?
Hi Ben,
The last calibres 67 were made in 1944 ( with the exception of a few B-Uhren
for the German Navy after WW II).
The desk watch I have has been made from an existing pocket watch which was
transformed to a marriage desk watch. I have seen other brands, made in the
same way. They come from East European countries. I hate marriages as some
collectors know and there is no excuse for a purist like me to have such
'thing'. Twenty years ago I used it when I wanted to bid on an auction in the
last 5 seconds. It is deadly accurate, runs always after one turn of the crown
and was never serviced for 20 years. Because it is so loyal to me , it may
stay.

Hi Mark! I didn't dare to show my "Kugeluhr" in the forum, because it is not
an
authentic IWC
.
My watch has a calibre 52 inside and runs very well.
Beside the IWC there is another "Kugeluhr" made by GUB in the former DDR
(GDR).
GUB was the watch factory in Glashuette/S, after the reunification the
follower was the well known "Glashutte original"
(/media/ckeditor_images/80fa631138e5a789b2a31d9c2541dbbc.jpg)
Great Big Balls of Fire!
Love those Kugeluhr desktop pieces. Thanks for sharing them Mr. Aberle.
I concur with Mr 8541 :o)
What fun to see these incredible Kugeluhr pieces
