Collectiing watches is, unfortunately, another extravagant indulgence of mine. I collect internationally well known brand of watches which I purchased directly from authorised dealers. They don't have problems as they are brand new.

When I was in Paris (not France) but in Kentucky in USA, I happened to walk into a junk shop. I found a gold pocketwatch which I purchased immediately. What attracted me was it bears the name of "Stuyvesant". From the little knowledge I know about American history I know Peter Stuyvesant (1612-1672) served as the last Dutch Director-General of the colony of New Netherlands from 1647 until it was provisionally ceded to the British in 1664. New Netherlands was later renamed New York. He was an important figure in the early history of New York City.

Would appreciate comments regarding this timepiece. Thanks.
