Reminds me of my childhood, had one on my bedside table.
Not as old or desirable as this one though. It looks really slim when folded.
I love how the used look of the case frames the perfectly clean face. Great colours, is it luminous at night?
Brass, leather and steel...and moving parts, how many objects today can you think of with that combination?
Thanks dickweedrules for the comments and appreciation. Dial is not luminous.
