Clare, what a lovely memory to have - their love for each other. You've just reminded me I have Great Grandma's rose gold watch put away somewhere. Think I need to ask some more details about it from my Mum. I love Tuesday Treasure's as it always reminds me of another treasure I have that I've forgotten about :D! Off to take photos of a few things now and actually participate this time.
Lovely post today Clare....such a beautiful treasure for you to have, even though it's such a sad story. Very glad you have it though and keeping the memory so special.xx
I have signed up,I hope that I am not too late. I shall catch next Tuesday in time. A lovely watch and even more preciousbecause of the sad story that is linked to it. I have a couple of treasures to show. Your blog banner has a similar style era I think. Thank you for sharing this. x
I think it is wonderful that you treasure and use this heirloom. My paternal grandparents were married in 1915. I wish i had ask them what it was like living as young marrieds during WWI. How sad your aunt lost her young man. I hope that she found happiness with another.
I love this story , so romantic and so very sad. I'm really looking forward to adding my little treasures to my blog, what a wonderful idea. Not sure how I'll go - I've only been blogging for two days.

He may be gone, but he will never be forgotten while his watch is worn. You are privileged to be given such a precious item.
Yes a sad story. Truly a treasure. Going to join you in Tuesday Treasures today methinks :-)
How lovely that you can continue to wear the watch and remember their love for each other.
What a beautiful treasure. It must be very special indeed to still be ticking after 95 years.
