Euro Antique Watches

We have seen a vast rise in the demand for Antique Pocket Watches here at LoveAntiques.com in recent months, which could be down to the popularity of recent period dramas such as Peaky Blinders and Downton Abbey or simply because they make for timeless gifts. Whatever the reason is for this surge in sales, we're sure you'll have your own reason for loving Antique Pocket Watches.
Our Dealer of The Month has a deep-rooted love for Antique Pocket Watches that stems from a rather endearing childhood memory. Leslie Licht, the founder of Euro Antique Watches, recalls a fond memory from his childhood where he was sat holding a beautiful Silver IWC Schaffhausen Pocket Watch belonging to his Grandfather, and became transfixed watching the second hand travel steadily around the face of the watch. He had a very close bond with his Grandfather, and when he sadly passed away years later, Leslie inherited this Pocket Watch, so of course, the watch serves as a memory of his dear Grandfather.
From then on, Leslie started collecting Pocket Watches and in 1985 this hobby became a business and he established Euro Antique Watches. He started trading at Antiques Fairs, meeting customers and making business contacts, which brought him much enjoyment and great satisfaction, especially when seeing the delight in his customers faces when they purchased one of his Pocket Watches.
With times changing and on-line services growing, Leslie made the decision in more recent years to solely trade online, selling mostly Antique Pocket Watches and the occasional clock or pocket watch fob and chain. He takes pleasure in listing new items on LoveAntiques.com and when asked what he enjoys most about the products he sells, he advised us that he mostly enjoys the high-quality technical movements, and is fascinated by the craftsmanship that goes in to these 'true pieces of art'
When it comes to customer service, Leslie says, "My motto is: The client is king! I always offer my best service, and as a result I have received a large amount of very positive feedback regarding both service and packaging over the years. Buying at Euro Antique Watches is guaranteed to be a great experience"
So whether you're looking for a gift or simply wanting to add to your own collection, make sure you take a look at the superb array of stock on offer from Euro Antique Watches.

Description
Seiko Precision 15-Jewel Pocket Watch Diaflex Shock Protection 1970s
This Seiko Precision 15-jewel pocket watch is fitted with a second-setting (hacking) mechanism, designed to allow precise time synchronization. When the crown is pulled out to set the time, a small internal lever moves into contact with the balance or the gear train of the movement. This action immediately stops the oscillation of the balance wheel, which in turn halts the seconds hand.
In this particular design, the mechanism is arranged so the seconds hand comes to rest exactly at the 60-second position (12 o’clock). This feature allows the user to synchronize the watch very accurately with an external time reference. For example, the user can pull the crown, wait until an official time signal—such as a radio or clock signal—reaches the start of a new minute, and then push the crown back in.
The watch will then restart precisely at that moment, ensuring accurate timekeeping. The watch is also equipped with Diaflex, Seiko’s proprietary shock-protection system. Diaflex strengthens the delicate balance staff and protects the pivots from damage caused by shocks or sudden movements. Combined with the 15-jewel movement, which reduces friction and wear, these features demonstrate Seiko’s focus on producing robust, precise, and highly reliable timepieces
