Military Inspiration

Back in 2015 I received this CWC mechanical pocket watch as a gift for graduating university, from my dad. It came about as the two of us had gone down a rabbit hole of military watches. We had looked t  lot brands and their links to the armed forces. We both liked the tool side and the utilitarianism of these watches. The function of their design. 

I can't lie, I am very happy to see CWC get more love and appreciation. I do notice its more their quart movements but I will say this pocket watch is one of my favourites in my collection. I love the clear numerals, designed for clarity. The sub-dial seconds, which  I think is a very classic look. But the best feature of this watch has to be the lume. I think its brighter than my future 😂. It also comes in handy when I'm checking the time early in the morning.

Has anyone else got any other good lume shots or CWC picture?

That's a great looking piece. I've never seen a lumed pocket watch before.

Thank you. Yeah it's the first one I've seen lumed, and they did an awesome job with it.
