This wristwatch has the name Chesswas marked on the inside of the watch face, and I assume that AE Chesswas & Sons jewellers had something to do with its construction. So fir the first time I placed a bid on ebay, then had to place another couple of bids thanks to competition, but came away with a win and the watch arrived in the post a week ago. It's an old-fashioned wind-up watch which goes as if it was made yesterday. Pretty cool to have a watch with my name marked on the face, especially with a name as rare as ours!

I was recently google searching Chesswas and came across this at ebay:
