In your pocket or on the table

Pocket watches offer the advantage of being quite large and easy to read. This one certainly is. It's 45mm in diameter, and although the crystal is only 39mm, it gives a real impression of spaciousness. The hands are thin and precise, yet stand out beautifully in black against white. It's very practical as a table watch, placed on a desk, although the movement is a bit noisy. But this can be an advantage when you want to keep time during a meeting or while waiting in a lounge before boarding; you simply place the watch on the table in front of you. The small seconds hand offers the benefit of not adding too much pressure when you glance at the dial, but the ticking sound reminds you that time is passing and you need to get to the point. Of course, if you're in a noisy environment, you won't even notice it anymore. The closely spaced Roman numerals suit it well, in my opinion. Note that the IV is in standard watchmaking format to avoid confusion with a VI, which is absent anyway due to the small seconds subdial. The case back is simply scratched and clipped on. The movement offers good resistance when winding. The crown is perhaps a little small at 6mm; a slightly larger one would have provided a better grip, but aesthetically it might have been a drawback. It's an 18-jewel 3602 movement from the Chelyabinsk Watch Factory, apparently produced in the second quarter of 1962. The soundtrack I would associate with this watch would be "Run" by Ev3nmorn https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFNIdGzdWoU&t=425s
