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 58, cal 9520
Today a slim, elegant , FrackUhr, pocketwatch.
It has a simple silver case and hands that make me think of the very early
hands on the Jones calibres like I showed yesterday.
The calibre is a cal 9520, the base calibre for later pocketwatches with
complications.
Also the same movement as in the Ingenieur pocketwatch.
The 9520 is almost identical to the 952, except that the 952 is nickel plated
and has geneva stripes and the 9520 is guilded.
The 952 was an evolution of the famous cal 95 with an added shock resistance.
I have made a picture to show the difference in height between this cal 9520
and the Seeland I showed earlier.
