This is the reverse of my pocket watch, the obverse side can be seen here; www.flickr.com/photos/119509436@N06/54560147643/in/datepo...
It is a slimline one and is just under 2.5 inches from base to the handle at the top.
I bought this pocket watch when I was promoted to the Sargeants Mess while serving. You may detect slight red hues to the gilding, this is because the RAMC Mess Dress was dark blue Surge, with Cherry Red edging and waistcoat / vest. Over the years the red surge wore away some of the surface and stained the front and back red.
Until I changed my 3 piece civilian suit recently, I used the watch regularly. I now have a 2 piece suit and therefore do not use it.
Sadly it does not work any longer as the battery has died and I haven't yet found watchmaker / jewelry store willing to try and open up the casing to replace it.

No detailed informations could be found about a machine tool factory "Karl Jockel" in Prag-Weinberge (Královské Vinohrady). It operated in the early 20th century and between the world wars.
Here's my latest engraving block...though this old style is more of a pedestal. It's sweet though, and clean. I got it pretty cheap on eBay....$65 + $12 for shipping.
"The Winning Yacht" - My digital hand colorization of William Wellstood ´s (1819 - 1900) engraving from 1885. The B/W original is in the Library of Congress archive.
William Wellstood was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, and emigrated to the United States in 1830. He and his elder brother John both became engravers.
William, who specialized in the stipple engraving technique, was famous for his portraits, historical and landscape engravings. His brother John became a leading bank note engraver.
The hill of Mars or Ares, better known by the name of Areopagus, of which hill of Mars or Ares is a translation. The Areopagus was a rocky height in Athens, opposite the western end of the Acropolis. It rises gradually from the northern end, and terminates abruptly on the south, over against the Acropolis, at which point it is about fifty or sixty feet above the valley. The spot is memorable as the place of meeting of the Council of Areopagus. This body existed as a criminal tribunal before the time of Solon, and was the most ancient and venerable of all the Athenian courts. It consisted of all persons who had held the office of archon, and who were members of the council for life unless expelled for misconduct. Before the time of Solon the court tried only cases of willful murder, wounding, poison, and arson: but he gave it extensive powers of a censorial and political nature. The council continued to exist even under the Roman emperors. Its meetings were held on the southeastern summit of the rock. The Areopagus possesses peculiar interest to the Christian as the spot from which St. Paul delivered his memorable address to the men of Athens.
