It has been kept safely in a leather pouch all that time. This pocket watch from the Record-Dreadnought Watch Co., a Swiss company founded in 1915 through a merger of several other watch companies. The company produced a wide range of timepieces and had an office in London starting in 1919 before moving its headquarters to Geneva in 1924.
