Why is the Glashütte "OLIW" legendary?

The "OLIW" (Original Lange Internationales Werk) is a fascinating chapter in the history of Deutsche Uhrenfabrikation (Glashütte). Produced around 1938, these movements are exceptionally rare today. Historical records indicate that only about 6,500 pieces were ever made, making this timepiece significantly scarcer than standard production models from the era. It represents the robust and precise German engineering of the late 1930s.

What is a antique Pocket Watch Conversion - Marriage Watch?

A marriage watch is taking an existing pocket watch and transferring all the elements (movement, dial, hands…) to a new wristwatch case. The objective is simple: instead of a pocket watch that is hardly usable today, you now have a wristwatch in a modern case, with a transparent case back to admire the movement. Please consider this before bidding so as to avoid any misunderstanding.
