My first memorable watch.

Recommended Posts

fusion

This is one of my most memorable watches. I wore it every day from '67 - '69 and loved it. It was quite different from most as it has an alarm that I found was amazingly accurate for the style. It's been bouncing around in a drawer because I'm not great at purging old stuff. Now that I'm on this forum, it reminded me to look for it again. For kicks, I did some research since I had forgotten it long before the Internet was born.

Then I found this which does a better job of addressing the history then I could. http://vintagewatchs...&products_id=84 Hope you found it interesting. Now I might have to find someone to fix it for me.

That is pretty cool--those mechanical alarms are interesting and novel if not functional in 2014. Here is my wrist alarm:

Until I got here a couple weeks back, I would have never thought I could find anyone able to accommodate that kind of repair.

It didn't take long to figure out there are some mad skills on this forum, but I hadn't remembered the condition until I found it again just

yesterday. It was a fun watch so I may have to start saving.
