My are my father's beautiful pocket watches that belonged to his father and grandfather. I am absolutely in love with them! They fill that void of a missing jewelry heirloom in my life! The Apollo pocket watch on the right was my grandfather's and the numbers and dials are painted in radium, which I find fascinating. The one on the left is a 14t gold filled Waltham watch that was my great grandfather's. There are two more in the shop and I can't wait to see how they turn out!Friday, June 4, 2010
