This watch came in for a new crystal recently. Included was a broken convex high dome which was an incorrect replacement. The original crystal type for this particular English fusee is a high lunette. Shown is the glass replacement I made using my own non-traditional technique of forming the glass to exactly replicate the profile of the original. This crystal began life as a piece of 1.2mm flat glass. I am very happy with the results and thought I would share a few images of this really nice little watch.

The correct crystal type will visually match the case features and allow ample hand clearance.

Another side view.

Shown in cross section.

I can make correct replacement glass crystals for any antique European open face watch. Flat or concave bullseyes can be added at no extra cost.

Thanks for looking!
