This watch belonged to my maternal Grandma. I never knew her as she passed away when I was about 6 months old, in 1961. I remember my Mom having this watch repaired and made into a pendant when I was a kid, and seeing her wear it. When my Mom passed away 6 years ago I got it. It still works and keeps time pretty well when it's wound.
It's interesting to think of all the things that have changed in the world since my Grandma got that watch. It's wonderful to know that through all those years, God has been in control and He has not changed!

Wonderful and truthful observation about our Lord! A beautiful time piece.
What a wonderful heirloom. I adore old things, especially from my grandparents who are all passed. This must be very special to you Mari.
Mari,
The watch is beautiful. I'm glad it was passed down to you. What a treasured keepsake.
God is the same and He is the one thing that never changes.
Blessings,
Mary
What a wonderful keepsake! And a wonderful post! I love this. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing the watch and it's story...very special! That verse from Ecclesiastes is one of my favorites, too.
Great Post! I thank you for visiting with me today.I hope you took a copy of the blog award for your self.
That watch is beautiful and what a wonderful truth! Thanks Mari!
What a beautiful memory! The watch is beautiful and I love your analogies with time and that God does not change... time just gets us closer to Him! Yay!!
I can still see that necklace around moms neck when she wore sweaters.
i love family memories...for Mother's day I wore my Great grandmother's pearls.
What a treasure. I can just imagine the hands that have held it and lovingly passed it down to you. What a comfort to know that although things of this world are always spinning and changing, God and His love stays constant.
My husband had an old timepiece similar to this one that he purchased. When my yougest was a toddler he showed her how the face opens. She then "helped" him and broke the hinge that hold the glass! That's the kind of memory we create around here!
I guess that is why he is GOD! He never change!
Nice blog.
What a treasure you have!! The watch is beautiful.
Thank you for your prayers! We made it through the day. I thought about you yesterday during church and the nice things that you've said to us during our loss. I hope that you had a happy Mother's Day. Who knows?...maybe your Mom & Charlie's Mom talked yesterday about us talking about them this week.
That timepiece is a part of your family's history. What a wonderful treasure to pass on through the generations.
