The Pocket Watch story behind this watch
The everyday watch before the wristwatch
Before the wristwatch took over in the 1920s and 30s, the pocket watch was how most people told the time. Swiss makers produced these enamel-dial open-face pocket watches in huge numbers, and they were sold and worn widely across India.
Value comes down to the maker, the condition of the enamel dial and a clean, running movement.
