It's not hugely old, it's not hugely special but it was a lucky grab when I wanted a hunter in the collection, the calibre is signed Longines and it keeps "good enough to be reliable over the course of 24 hours" time.

The single albert is Victorian and came from America as did the masonic keystone fob. The chain is doubled with an engraved slider which in the photo sits between watch and fob.

Do I enjoy the hunter experience? Yes I do though I'm not in a situation where my watch crystal actually needs protection from clouts, bashes and dings

Being American, is it 15ct?
Is the fob plain or does it have any symbols scratched on? I was fortunate that Scooter was able to interpret some of the symbols on my Masonic GP which had been made for the US market.

It bears on the obverse the English letters HTWSSTKS and, yes, I know their meanings. (do you?)
I'll have to check my records for the gold content. I saw an almost identical one last week with the hanging part formed as a square and compass.

I think today would be a good day to wear one of my vintage Heuers.

^^^ The 100/4 is as stunning as the watch!

Out for the day, a special day.

And, quickly and crudely, the waistcoat shot complete with reflections in the mirror
