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 65, Sch utzenuhr 1979, Luzern, part 3
To complete the series of the 1979 Schutzenuhr, today the gold Lepine with cal
952.
The danger of been bitten by the Uhren virus, is shown here,when I found the
first one, and got knowledge of the other two, I had to find the others to
complete the collection.
But since the Hunter was only made in 100 pieces and the gold one only in 50,
it was a bit more challenging to find these. It took me some time but here is
the complete lot.
As written before, the quality of these case is very high and the weight is
heavy.
Here is also a picture of the two back covers of the golden one on a scale.
At a price of around 50.000 euro/kg, it means these covers alone are more
worth than 2000 euro.
And yes, I know that there is also a coin in gold, but no, I am not going to
buy it, need the money for another pocketwatch to show here.
