How cool is that.

I don't know much about them but there are A LOT available in good shape which makes me wonder if they were provided to the military at some point.
I have a very similar Junghans pocket watch and it keeps time like you wouldn't believe. Movement is solid and easy to service. That's basically all I've got.

Commonly known as wristlets. A dear friend made one for me a couple of years ago after I obsessed about one made by leather artisan Munoz vrandecic. If memory serves correct (from my snooping around the net) They date back to a time long before the wristwatch as we know it today.

I've been at my parents this week, just before I left my mum produced this which was my grandfather's.
(Seiko for scale)
Perhaps I'm wrong but it seems unlikely an accountant from rural West Wales would have a Junghans? He was a paratrooper in the war and when we cleared out his house, we found a walnut handled Walther he had 'liberated' from a German Officer.
Does anyone know more about Junghans pocket watches from this period? I didn't get a chance to see the movement as I had to get a train, but I can ask for some.
