Yes, though I can’t for the life of me remember what two of them do. Something to do with the alarm. Which I’ll never use. So that’s alright then.
EDIT: I tell a lie… three pushers, two crowns! ![]()

That’s a cracker! Lovely.
Absolutly gorgeous.
I want one.
Sinn makes some great watches. Deutsch horology at their best.
A restoration project. I suspect it is over a hundred years old, probably - circa WWl period, and it hasn’t missed a bit in the last 24 hs. I just love these watches.
Properly interesting ![]()
modified or adapted pocket watch, by the look of it.
Maybe both. It’s a bit of a puzzle. It’s got the original crown but positioned at 3 o’clock unusual for a pocket watch. Fully sealed and closed caseback so movement can only be accessed via the front of the watch by removing bezel, crystal and then pulling out the crown while lifting the movement at the same time. It’s great fun.
Interesting. Certainly it was quite common, in the early days of wristwatches, to modify a pocket watch or just use a pocket watch movement from new.
3 o’clock winder is, as you say, less common than 12 o’clock, but there were quite a few around, and only that kind would work as a wristwatch.
VERY nice!
As a true Naim addict one watch will never do! I have a Rolex (I was given it in the Middle East gold, too heavy) a Porsche design (quite bulky) several Tags, an IWC, an Omega (my son has pinched that) and currently a Tag digital watch which I am not in love with. My favourite is a Breitling, I think it is an Aerospace, titanium light and my go to watch for 25 years. Also getting a lot of wrist time are a couple of Christopher Ward watches, also Titanium and great value. (yes the one in the picture has stopped!). These are the ones on my desk in my Maidenhead home, and yes my step count is low so it must be time to walk the dog!
Current market value: under $20
Sentimental value: priceless
The Seiko Lady’s diving watch has been sitting on my wrist for over 35 years, 12,775 days since July of 1991 (when it had replaced a lost Rolex) without failing once, aging gracefully while showing the scars of my outdoors activities.
