Well, this morning, this artifact has picked up the five seconds it had lost since Thursday! Will continue wearing it to see how accurate it is over the long term. Not too bad for a 107 year old watch in my opinion.
This one again, today.

In my pocket all day. Used it once or twice to check the time. And it’s back in my pocket after taking the attached photo.

Making some pasta and noticed the pocket watch timing instructions ❤️ I believe this qualifies for pocket watch Friday 😅

Still wearing my 18-size Waltham 1892 CPR pocket watch. I’m not showing in this post as I don’t want to wear out its welcome. In the 16 consecutive days I’ve worn it, it is presently 19 seconds fast without being reset. Although the rate hasn’t varied any more than 5 seconds in the last week! It is 107 years old and is performing as well today as it was the day it left the factory.

Set to the second on October 15. 19 days ago. I set it back to Mountain Standard Time on October 31, but that didn’t affect the seconds. It gained 21 seconds from October 15 to October 22. Since October 22, it has not varied! The rate has been dead constant since October 22. How long can it maintain such stellar performance?
