    Today, I was taking some pictures of my pocketwatches and I made a group shot of the Jones calibers I have in the collection at this moment.
    Hope you enjoy these oldies.

    Nice little group Tonny.
    I wonder, is the case for the pattern H original? I just ask because the H is lever set and I don't see a lever. Maybe it is just the angle the picture is taken.

    Regards
    Alan

    Hi Tonny,

    Spot on! That's exactly it – it just wasn't clear on the original photo.
    I really like the Jones H (and E)- wonderful watches. Enjoy!

    Lovely and great pictures Tonny! Can you help me out with an amateur question: what's the lever for?

    Kind regards,

    Bob

    Hi Bob
    This Lever is used to set the time.
    In one position, the crown winds the watch. In another, it engages hand setting function via the crown.

    To be precise, on the Jones H and E savonnettes, pulling out the lever allows the crown to set the hands, pushing in the crown (or closing the watch) resets it to crown winding
