My great grandfather was a master jeweler, engraver and watch maker/repairman. This was his watch with my great grandmother's image, from a photo taken in 1914. She died in the flu epidemic of 1918, when my grandfather was just three years old. She also left behind two daughters, ages seven and 3 months. My great grandfather had come home from an Army camp based in Hayes, Kansas, and passed the flu onto my great grandmother. He survived, but she didn't. This watch is truly a treasure!
