So, I was going through some boxes of stuff I shipped here from my parents' place. And low and behold I found several watches - all quartz. A German pocket watch, a nautical, a win watch(swatch copy one of my cousins in Switzerland was involved with in the 90s), an old pop-swatch, and a Timex Eeyore that didn't survive.
Actually, I'm not expecting the winwatch to work, it already seems to be losing time. The nautica, small second hand at 6, has a Japanese movement (Miyota?), and is going strong. The Royal, a quartz moon phase, by Tchibo, seems to be doing well. I didn't bother with the swatch as I've had no luck with my old swatches.![]()

A fun find. Too bad about Eeyore, I'll see if the movement works, and maybe find a case for it, and give it to my daughter.
