The Watches

I am not a serious watch collector. My modest assembly of watches reflects my main interest which is researching and writing about watches, specifically, Hampden watches and their Soviet siblings.

A real collector would be appalled at the non-originality, the poor condition and choice of models in my collection. Also at my incompetent photography which is evident below.

Directly above and to the left are examples of Chicago produced watches - made between 1940 and the early 70's. Above them are Springfield and Canton produced examples.

Below you will see those watches made from the Hampden equipment shipped to Russia. All have replica Hampden Movements.
