my collection

My new Rolex along with a watch my mother passed on to me.
Wondering about the other watch. I am clueless about it. But it is gold!
Thanks!

Sorry, I'm also clueless about your addition, but it's all the more special for being from your mum.

You have quite a nice, shiny collection!

Nice pieces!!
I myself have a watch from my grandfather that he wore in WWII that has no branding, is beat up, but I treat it like one of my best in my collection. Family heirloom pieces have a value and meaning that can never be matched!

I can't find a corporate website for Geneve watches, but if you look around the internet, they aren't hard to find.

They are typically made of precious metals with diamonds and other gemstones. They typically sell in the thousands of dollars, although I have seen a few for less than a thousand.

Usually, they are available heavily discounted from MSRP, but still quite expensive.

They are Swiss made.

They may no longer be in business.
