Thank you for that. It was a huge surprise to find it after over 50 years and even bigger surprise that it still works and keeps perfect time. Working things backwards and using the inscription as a reference my dad had it from new when he was stationed in Newfoundland which was not actually in Canada then which makes the inscription even more intruiging. I know it was something he treasured and he wore it every day for 25 years until he died wearing it. I certainly do wish it could talk I don’t know why he had it, was it bought for him or did he chose it, and why that one? I only know I am now going to enjoy wearing it and keeping it just as it is. Things were just repaired and kept going in the 50’s and 60’s without any thought for originality and for me that is part of its charm.
Thank you once again for helping with the identification and understanding of its own history.
