WWI Borgel Trench Watch : Named First & Second War Veteran
A beautiful WWI Borgel screw case trench watch with all its original parts down to the crystal, which is why we can forgive the crack in it.
More importantly, this one is engraved on the back naming it to one H. Bigsby Chamberlain of the Queen's Own Yorkshire Dragoons. I encourage you to make your way to the last photo to read the biography of this fantastic man, but to sum up he served in not just one, but both World Wars before he was sadly struck down by disease in 1943.
This watch is not only a wonderful timepiece in good working order, but also an amazing piece of history from a remarkable man.
