winder and looks nothing like any Bunn Special
I’ve ever seen. Inscribed on the movement is
Burlington Watch Co. adjusted temp & 6 positions,
HYMOSER&CO Made in Switzerland R.R. Model 21
Jewels. There are 4 plates in total and it looks
as if it were made yesterday, immaculate case,
dial and crystal. I’ve been collecting for a few
years and have never seen another one like it.
Maybe there are more but anyone would be hard
pressed to find one in this condition!
