Pocket watch
The wireless set 19 also contains a Pocket watch (see also section Radio jeep details). Therefore, after I bought the WS19, I have been looking for such a pocket watch. Luckily I managed to find a genuine Swiss made pocket watch produced by Helvetia. On the back the British war department arrow can be seen. Furthermore the abbreviation G.S.T.P. for "General Service Time Piece" can be seen. Below the serial number "G25113" is engraved.

I bought the watch in a non-working condition. Thanks to a good friend and watchmaker the watch is now in a working condition again, like the video shows.
With the exception of some missing luminous paint in the hands and scratches on the back, the watch is in a good condition.
The following picture shows the pocket watch in the watch holder on the power supply unit of the WS19.
