Lucerne Sports Tachometer (Vintage 60/70's) Found this watch in my mum's loft. Had it when I was a kid, not been used in 40+ years! Picked it up gave it a shake (not expecting it to work!) kicked straight back into life! That is real "quality" from an "ordinary Swiss watch" really "built to last", what is more environmentally friendly than a still working 50 year old product?

The watch is still pretty accurate too, never been serviced in 50 years! Quality build! One more thing, this watch has the "classic" watch tick, Love listening to tick sounds more meditative than some more expensive watches 😀

Yeah, there’s something about a ticking watch…. It’s relaxing.

Nothing beats the feeling of finding a watch that belonged to a family member. It’s a beautiful memento.

Interestingly I know of people who can hold an object and actually tell some of the history of the object! Even the owners name etc. sounds crazy but friends semi-confirmed it. Who knows, explains why we like to keep some loved ones things!
