Watches and guns-Let's see yours

[41mag10mm]

Taurus Model 689 and 1910 Hamilton Grade 992L

.

Excellent Hamilton 992 with exhibition back. Would make any railroader proud.

A little history since someone had a question about the link between watches and guns. There is absolutley a link in the late 1800's. The mass production techniques developed for the firearms industry crossed over to the watch making industry and lead to pocket watches being much more reasonably priced. This is turn allowed more people of limited means to own a good timepiece such as a Waltham or Elgin.

I have a fairly large collection of pocket watches in addition to guns. I find the precision of a fine pocket watch to be just as appealing as that of a finely crafted firearm.

Mine is kinda blurry. Left is my Ruger SP101 and Tag 2000. The other is my M66-2 and Breitling Colt. They go great together and about the only things I will not part with.

Quick first attempt at guns and watches. Seiko 'Ninja' Samurai automatic with 92FS Inox.

Casio atomic clock controlled with same Beretta.

I think the Beretta Inox is my most photogenic handgun. I'll have to try some more combinations of guns and watches.

Well there's my everyday carry...

A well worn Taurus 650, a well worn Seiko Chrony and , because it just seems to go with the pair, a well worn CRKT M16.


Then a little dressier....

A still well worn EAA Witness, my favorite Jules Jurgensen and a sweet little AG Russell fixed blade given to me by a dear friend.

Sold the Omega and the SR9

Here is my new watch and gun combo. An Orient Black Mako and a Ruger GP100.

Bill DeShivs, thanks. That's awesome. Thankfully I didn't have any coffee, or my screen would be wearing it.
