Old but Crafty
Very nice Henry.
South Bend was an interesting American watch company. It was founded in 1903 from the remains of the bankrupt Columbus Watch Company, and moved to South Bend IN. It was owned by members of the famous Studebaker automotive family.
Unfortunately like many of its American competitors South Bend was a casualty of the Great Depression.

Good story of a lovely watch.
I wish I had a small part of your skills, because, when it comes to even the most basic drawing, all my fingers become thumbs...!

Oh my. That is amazing. I honestly have no clue what South Bend Watch Co. is, but man, that is something to behold.
Thanks for sharing, Henry.
