Bulova 1926 transitional pocket watch wristwatch

ClockSavant restored this beautiful Bulova 1926 transitional pocket watch wristwatch for the great granddaughter of the original owner. As-is too common, its hairspring had been mangled by a previous watchmaker and the hairspring, once corrected, did not properly fit the balance staff (possibly a different balance staff than original or hairspring from a different balance) requiring more work. Due to the sentimental value to the owner, we did much of this painstaking work at no cost as the restoration would have been otherwise cost prohibitive for the owner. We adapted the watch to a period-correct leather band as the old bracelet was not usable.
