Pocket watches also graced the 'Crossing'

While the new vintage collection was the center of attention that night, the presence of some wonderful and elegant pocket watches added some nostalgia to an already well carried out 1860s theme. These are not mine but I wish to share it with all here.

(Dirk has posted links to the wonderful dinner launch in the post below)

And a meeting of two generations?

Lovely aren't they? Enjoy the pics as I have enjoy them too. Cheers!

as well they should...

...and I especially liked the last photo with the pocket and wrist dials being somewhat similar.

Thanks for posting this.

Graceful beauties indeed, thank you Lionel

I particularly admired Chee Hoong's calibre 73, seen here after he allowed me to open the case back ... photos taken by Zach Toh.

vintage dial comparison does make a nice contrast

Here's another photo Zach took of the calibre 83 with the in-again sector dial.

My pleasure!

Its the first time that I'm able to see a IWC pocket watch up close and in person. Thank you for bringing yours that night too!

See you Tuesday night. Cheers!
Lionel
