I don't know what language this is to try and translate it. On the curvet ot has on the left dide an engraved stamp with the profile of a queen that says kant ausstellung thun 1899 and in the middle says 10 Rubis and on the right it says thun 1899. I know what the 10 Rubis means but the other does not make since to me so I must be translating it from the wrong language. It translates to "Kant Exibition do 1899". If this translation is correct the "do" does not make since to me. Thanks, Harry | ||

Thank you Bob. This must be a Swiss watch then and it must meas "Kant Exhibition of Thun 1899" or something similar. Thanks again Bob, Harry | |||

Thun is a pretty city at the northwestern end of a long lake, the "Thuner See," on the northern periphery of the Bernese Oberland -- one of the choicest stretches of the Alps. Here's how it looked when I last was there a few years ago. | |||

Thank you Dave but don't you need to know what language it is that you are translating? I did do that but for some reason it put "do" in there which did not make since to me. But if I substitute "of" for "do" it makes since. Harry | |||

Harry, All I did was copy the original language and copied it in the first box, which was then detected as the German language. And it gave me: kant exhibition thun 1899 Not sure I understand the of and do part? Dave Turner | ||||

Oh I did the same thing I guess I used a different site and it said "kant exhibition do thun 1899". The "do" was throwing me off. I just made up a word to replace "do" that made since to me and I chose "of" since it had the same number of letters and it seemed to fit and make since to me. Not very scientific but it worked for me. I was on my cell phone and I don't know what translation site it was using. I find the cell phone does not do as good of a job searching as my computer. Thanks Dave, Harry | |||
