If this watch could talk

I wonder where it's been, what it's seen?

Just something about vintage watches that fascinates me.

How about you?

Same here pal. I feel the same about old coins. Who’s hands has this been in? What was it used to purchase? History, even of the everyman, is limitlessly interesting!

It would probably want to tell you all about one or more of these guys.

Particularly the very personal items of my ancestors. Rings, watches, things they put the fingers into or wore next to their beating heart, every single day. So much so that they wore the finish or gold plating off.

It brings tears to my eyes to think of the struggles they endured and the trials they suffered, all to bring me here to this world. And their watch or ring was there to bear silent witness to it all.

I’m just like you. I often wonder where my vintage watches started out.
