Swiss pocket watch with protective case of a Wehrmacht veteran 1914

A unique collector's set, combining the elegance of pre-war watchmaking with the dark history of militaria. The offer includes a working, unnamed pocket watch of Swiss origin, which only requires professional cleaning and maintenance to once again measure time. Its mechanism works, but after running for a while it stops, which is typical for antique timepieces needing service. The true historical and collector value lies in the original veteran's case (Kombattanten-Büchse) from the period of World War I, belonging to a German Wehrmacht soldier with number 1014. On the watch case there is a German inscription, flags, and the date 1914. Condition and details:
  • Watch: Swiss movement, no visible brand. Functional, but requires cleaning and regulation (stops). Ideal project for an enthusiast who wants to restore its former glory.
  • Case: Original protective case for a veteran's watch (Kombattanten-Büchse) with embossed date 1914 and markings indicating affiliation with the German armed forces (Wehrmacht) from the period of World War I. Unique material trace of a soldier's history.
This is an extraordinary offer for collectors of militaria, World War I history, and enthusiasts of antique watchmaking. The set tells two parallel stories: the precision of Swiss craftsmanship and the personal history of a German soldier from the Great War.
