Found these up in a Colorado mountain town and thought that they were a really cool display pieces.  Supposedly these were salesmen's samples.  I ended up with the light background one.

I also picked up a nearly complete K&D Series 600 staking set for a good price from the guy and some other small tools.  It was worth the trek up there.

That is an absolutely fantastic find, Waltham collectors around the country are going to be jealous 🙂

 

Well, he does have that dark background one available and mentioned having another one of these in his storage unit.  Definitely a nice display piece to have.

which interesting is yours are nicely framed and it appears to be one specific watch. Somewhere I've seen this before I think somebody on this group may have posted a picture previously.

than the Elgin watch company had something sort of similar. Not nicely framed but in cardboard boxes which have the problem of basically the effect of time and water. Then not so much one watch but more of components used to make a watch more like showing how the watch parts are made where they come from etc. the steps of making the watch.

Then if you read the text indicates is for an 18 size watch but the reality is both of these are 12 size watches.

found on the inside lid is this label

the interesting aspect is they're not exactly the same.

      Help with Hermle ships clock

      By watchweasol · Posted

      Hi Mike I did a ships clock a long while ago, not a Hermle though and without getting the beast in my hands to refresh my memory I can’t recall the timing.  This doesn’t help I know but will start the grey matter turning.

      Help with Hermle ships clock

      By Rixy · Posted

      I have stripped and cleaned a Hermle ships clock. It was just oily, no major faults, and I reassembled it, following my photos in reverse order. The time train is fine but the strike train will not play the ships bell strike for half-past. Ships bells play a four hour sequence for the 'watches' and play double 'ding' for the hour and the double dings plus one for the half past (eg half past the second hour is 'ding-ding' 'ding-ding' 'ding'). Sounds complicated but it isn't really. The strike wheel consists of pairs of bumps (for the ding-ding) and no single bumps. There must me some mechanism on the half-past that lifts the strike lever over one of the bumps so only one ding is played. When I get to a half past, it still plays double ding. I have a feeling it is to do with the lever in front of the rack (there is a sprung attachment  on it) and the position of the wheel (to the right) with the two pins that lets that lever fall, but no matter where I place that wheel I cannot get a single ding at half past! Please can someone help with advice on positioning so I can fix this? BTW Happy Easter 🐣
