Greg Crockettwatch with cannon
This pin-set pocket watch was found in a Barcelona flee market. It appears to have been made by Dubois Freres & Co. They made Rosskopf and other types of watches in the early 1900's.
It has an interesting style of cannon on the percaline dial.

Greg CrockettThe watch has a Rosskopf style movement. It's visible through the inner glass cover. Fortunately, it didn't need any repair work.
I am wondering about the cannon. The the image represent an actual gun or is it more a product of an artist's imagination of what a then-modern field gun should looks like?
