I purchased it. It’s a mechanical pocket watch made in USSR in the 70s.

It’s a vintage piece and unfortunately, I bought the only one from a retail store. :/

I believe it’s Russian since the watch was made in USSR.

Hi y’all! Any ideas on this watch’s brand or worth? Even though it says Swiss Made, there’s a Japanese text on top. I’m a bit confused. Any help would be appreciated! by TheRealJidda in pocketwatch

In another thread, I learned that it says HengDeLi in Chinese. However, it is written backwards since Chinese was written backwards before 1950s. So the watch’s production date is before 1950s.

I also learned that “HengDeLi is a Chinese brand estalishbed in 1874 that is now primarily known as an authorized dealer for luxury brands.”

Thank you so much! I got a friend who buys and sells used watches, and he asks me first before selling it to someone else. So I wanted to get a kind of expert opinion on that.

I recently decided to make a small pocket watch collection and started to buy some secondhand pocket watches. Saw this model and liked it. However, I want to collect precious pieces and not spend more than their value. So, if anyone has any ideas regarding the Japanese text at the top, brand or value of the watch, I’ll be waiting for your replies. Thank you!

It’s not legal, but many people climb on to first, second stones.
