Checking Out a Legendary English Pocketwatch and Two Very Special Japanese Wristwatches with Wei Koh

Coming up for auction at Phillips this November - three very special pieces that we're having a look at with Mr. Wei Koh, a good friend of The Armoury and a leading light in the world of horology. We dive deep into the Derek Pratt unique pocket watch, a piece that any lover of watches or mechanical objects must try and see at least once in their lives. Next, a closer look at two special pieces from Mark's collection, one by Masa's Pastime, a unique 5 minute repeater pocket watch converted into a wristwatch. The pocket watch dates back to the 1890s and has been so well kept that not only the movement but even the dial and hands could be used for the wristwatch. Finally, one of the ultimate Grand Seiko's ever made, a platinum reissue of the Grand Seiko first, an incredibly charming and highly wearable watch that is a must have for anyone who loves Grand Seiko, fine 36mm watches, well balanced design, platinum...

Please excuse the dodgy closeup footage, we only had the piece for an hour because so many people wanted to see it! There are plenty more closeups on Phillips' website.
