This pocket watch was given to me by my grandfather.
It has a white face(or dial?) that reads "colibri" "quarts" "swiss made" it has a small image of a train just below the name colibri. On the back of the watch is an engraved(I think) picture of an old steam locomotive that is bellowing smoke. This watch was not made with a hinge or cover from what I can see. It doesn't work nor does it wind up, but if I pull the knob I can set the time, so I think it must use a battery. I doubt this watch is made of gold, so I would guess it's bass, but I don't know. Any information would be helpful, I've looked all over the web and found no pictures of this watch.|||Colibri Pocket Watch
