As some of you know, I am collecting pocketwatches, IWC only.
Far from saying that my collection is a museum collection but I am proud to
have found some nice and rare pieces over time.
Some of the pocketwatches are common, easy to find on the market, sometimes in
better condition than mine, but some I have are gems.
So in these crazy times, as the museum in Schaffhausen is closed, why not open
one here on the forum.
As long as the museum is closed, I will post here daily a pocketwatch from my
collection.
I hope I don't run out of pieces before the virus is beaten. Fingers crossed
for all of us.
I will post them in a random order, with some comments, feel free to join.
Keep safe all.
DAY 44, cal 67, black dial.
After the very special Scarabaeus Fuchs yesterday, today a more common one,
allthough common might not be the right word.
Have you ever noticed that there are very few IWC pocketwatches with a black
dial ? I only have a few in my collection, and this cal 67 is one of them.
It is from 1937, has a steel case and black dial with luminous hands and
numerals.
When you see these for sale, most of the time they have the adverb "military".
They are even presented like that, the first picture is the watch how it was
presented by the seller. To my knowledge, these watches are not military.
But nevertheless interesting to have in the collection, rare dial and luminous
hands, works for me.
