Top right is a genuine Railway watch Swiss movement of quality sold by Edward Taylor of London. Nickel case. And key winding..
Bottom right A Goliath .. Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway this is an eight day watch the spring is almost as big as the case..
Now the wrist watch as you can see it's an Ingersoll.. At the beginning of the first WW the English government put out a call for cheap wrist watches for soldiers in the first WW not many wrist watches were made only very expensive..
So Ingersoll came to the rescue producing a small cheap movement and case.. as you can see the winding button still in the same place as a pocket watch.. the dial was of printed paper and the numerals were painted with Radium for the dark
This one is genuin even the strap is original
It has been authenticated by the British Horological Society and I have loaned it for display.. ...
The S&D railway watch is fake the dial has been doctored..
