What’s the oldest watch you have? And why?

I sold a variety of Swiss and non-swiss brands for a long time when I worked as a jeweller. At the same time, I developed an interest in antique jewellery and watches.

So whether is cheap or expensive, working or not, 5 years old or 100+ years old, what’s the oldest watch you own? Is it a sentimental piece or something you purchased because of its model?

Just hoping to find out about some more different watches out there!

    My daily watch is about 4,57 billion years old (The Sun). It has began to show some nice patina. I’m gonna ask my local watchmaker if he can service that bad boy. It really is a strap monster. Love how the light dances on the dial. And great lume!!

    Oh, and why I have it? It was a hairloom piece and I had it immediately when I was born. Definitely a sentimental piece: everytime I look at it I feel warm.
