Came across this newspaper article.
Thought it may interest some...



A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone.
Henry David Thoreau
Never hold discussions with the monkey when the organ grinder is in the room.
Sir Winston Churchill
Aequam memento rebus in arduis servare mentem-Remember when life's path is
steep to keep your mind even.

Very interesting - from other dates and inscriptions looks as though the watch was repaired a time or two as far back as 1844. I can feel a 'google' coming on.
