I am fascinated by vintage watches, especially mechanical models you have to wind by hand. Here a couple illustrations from my collection, along with a photo of the actual watch.

The watch above is a US military issue Hamilton watch from 1978 (MIL-W-46374B). I really like the simple utilitarian design and 24 hour numbering, with no extra features.

This next illustration is a 1958 Timex Viscount self-wind watch. I really love the mid century modern design, LP dial and unique numbers. Such a classic with so much style! I added a new blue NATO strap, which works well with the mint radium accents.
