I just got my great grandpa's pocket watch, he was gifted when he retired from the railroad business a very long time ago, shipped to Sweden. I hope to get it working again soon. I have always loved pocketwatches and your post got me in the feels. That commenter on your post had a really cool post about timepieces and clocks as well. Glad to see you back in action! Cheers

Did you? That's awesome! They are not hard to get fixed, just a little pain to keep running -- mine I have to set the time daily because it gets kinda behind.
So your great grandpa was also a railroad man? My grandpa was a railroad chief for many years; unfortunately I didn't get the chance to meet him. I'm glad to be inspired to photograph again, it's always fun.
