Punctuality,
however, was not the only thing at stake. The watches had to be accurate to
ensure that no accidents happened. Every day there were literally hundreds of
trains to manage, and they all had to keep exact times. If the precise time
wasn't kept, accidents could happen. For example, when tracks were switched on
a scheduled time, if times weren't on time, they could collide, so precision
was crucial. These are the vintage pocket watch that frequently feature as many
as jewels and no less than 6 adjustable positions in substitute of the
recommended 5 that are most wanted after by collectors and have the most value.

truly come a long way from the first simple, uncomplicated pocket watch to the
multi-functional digital watch. Some are so versatile and suitable in almost
any condition, that they will be the only watch you will ever need to own in
your lifetime!
