The watch was made in 1855. I know all about the family legacy shit and all that, but I've had this thing in my jewelry box for 30+ years now, and it's time for someone who might really appreciate it to take it. It works when it's wound. That's the amazing thing - 170 years old and it still works. Check out this listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/135167675270
