A close-up look at a WWI "Pulp Fiction" Trench Watch!

In this episode of #TalkingTimepieces we take a close-up look inside and out of a WWI #TrenchWatch, a #pocketwatch that has been modified to be a #wristwatch. We also explain why people did that to #watches in the first place.

As mentioned, a lot of the watches were assembled from ordered pieces. The marks are hallmark stamps referring to the case not necessarily to the movement maker.
Identifying movements could be tricky since the bridge design was deliberately changed to be able to sell the watch to different resellers. There could be a makers mark on the dial side of the movement. The keyless works is also another “fingerprint” to ID such a movement

I think the 800 mark means .800 fine silver.
