I guess I should be posting on the Zenith forum, but I enjoy pocket watches as well. I mean, where can you get a movement that looks better than a 15,000USD Patek movement for less than 300USD?
But here is a newer pocketwatch, but as it was most likely made in the late 50s, maybe early 60s?, it qualifies for vintage. I've had it for a few years, but doubt I spent more than 80USD on it.
An interesting, if little pocketwatch. It is smaller than the popular 16s American pocketwatches. I would dare say that if it were made today, you might find it in a wristwatch such as my Glycine Incursor.
This little Wyler has some fabulous marketing. Chronometer indeed. By most standards, it would fail as you see in the picture below. Fifteen jewels? That is not found in any high grade watch. But it does have a pseudo-micrometer regulator and it is adjusted to four positions. That is not half bad. But it does make me wonder why the effort on a 15 jewel watch?
A little thing to note. While the bushing is made of brass, it does appear that the jewels are in gold settings.
Cheers,
