Morning,

Today it will be this early '60s Josmar, a brand founded in 1928 by Kocher Freres of Bettlach and entirely unrelated to modern watches of the same name.

Josmar used various movements in their watches, this one having a 21j Oberon pin-lever movement, a subject for another day.

Regards.

One extreme to the other.

Yesterday I wore a piece from a manufacturer which has easily made enough pieces for there to be one in circulation for every 500 people in the world. Given that half the population could barely afford them, and that they are popular in the UK, that probably means that there are approaching a quarter of a million in the UK and about seventy in my small market town.

Today I have on a watch from a manufacturer whose numbers mean that there are probably fewer than thirty in the UK (of which I have three). Unlikely to see another in the pub . . . . .
