1761 Pocket Watch 2

The two winding keys were made by Chris. One fits the winding post on the back, and the other fits the square post on the front.

I can’t remember who made the watch box seen here. I bought it sometime after Linda gave me the watch and Chris suggested I get one. It was made by a friend of Chris’s up in New England. The watch box is handy to display the watch, but it is also practical in that while the watch is running, it needs to hang vertically, not be set on its back. And it will run for over 30 hours on one winding.

This was a great and unexpected gift. The watch keeps excellent time, losing about 10 minutes in 24 hours. But it’s consistent, so it’s easy to reset each morning when it is wound.
