My wife gave me this watch the day before our wedding, as her wedding present to me. Of course, I wore it the next day.

If the house were on fire, and I could only pick one watch to get out, it would be this one, even though I never wear it.

We bought the chain on our honeymoon, and the locket was my grandfather's 25 year gift from the insurance company he worked for.

I am told the movement dates from 1910. The porcelain dial is hand painted, and absolutely perfect.
