Yep, the chronograph repeater came back today!



The video was shot at just past 5:45 - 5 single tone chimes signify the hours, and 3 dual tone chimes signify each quarter past the hour.... hence the name quarter repeater.

Oh, and the dial does look pretty good too. :wink:

BTW you going to wear it right.:thumbup1:

Absolutely! I wouldn't have spent the money to have it repaired and serviced if not.

Do you have a fob and a waist coat? (waist coat = vest as in 3 piece suit) One of the things missing in today's fashion that a pocket watch can help reclaim is the waist coat. I'm all in for pocket watches. I've been eyeing them with a greedy glint. Nice piece!

 

[ulackfocus]

No fob or waist coat. Got pockets on my slacks and jackets though.

NICE WATCH, Wear it correctly with a 3 piece suit and vest, I am sure you'd look very spiffy

Quote of the Month from The Highlander! Well played, sir!

Oh no! Then when the gathering happens it will be the two of us dueling it out!!

My wife made this, guess it might be called a fob?

I need something to grab onto.

 

[ulackfocus]

Great hands on that. Got a movement shot?

I want a video with full picture & (more importantly) sound!

That short video in my OP should have sound - 5 single tone bells and 3 dual tone bells.

I can't vouch for how original this is. Not even sure the hands came from an Elgin.

You see, back in my motorcycle days I wanted a dependable 12S pocket watch that I could take out biking.
So, I assembled this watch from several Elgin's I had in my Elgin parts box.

However, I am quite certain THIS 12S Elgin is all original.
