It's a pure "style exercise"...with a Leonidas pocket watch movement...with fantasy dial, case, crown, etc...

: Hi All,

: I found this on Ebay and while it seems
: interesting according to the info I have
: gleemed from this site it would appear to be
: a fake or "franken"
: Leonidas/heuer. This site says the merger
: happened in the '60's but the watch claims
: to be from the 20's and appears to be a
: leonidas movement in a custom case with a
: heuer/leonidas face. I was interested in it
: but now that I am skeptical of its origins I
: am staying away.

: What are your thoughts on this timepiece?
