Something Different

A friend of mine purchased this Cellini coin a while back and i just got to see it a couple of days ago, he carries it in his pocket can you believe that? lol

I did enjoy taking photos though, but would never carry it in my pocket lol

but it really is a nice pocket watch and very collectible

Enjoy

I have actually had this pocketwatch in my hands once....quite a feat of manufacturing. Not that I would want one, it is much more impressive than the Corum coin watch.

I saw that at an AD recently. It is quite small, but looks fantastic. I could never keep that in my pocket, it would disappear before I knew it.
