Wow! A Good looking pocket watch you have there, spam01.
Do you use it as a collection of time pieces or do you use it to tell time?

On special occasions. Rarely used, rather as a collector's item

its late about 13 seconds per day (-13s/24h) It has a compensating balance but the watch has over 100 years and components are probably tired.
It is not important to me. It is beautiful watch and enjoy the eye

It is great to have a pocket watch with it's own box and winding key.
How many hours can your watch run after a full wind?
