Hi all
Been sorting a few things lately and came across an old Zenith pocket watch in my projects box, which I would have picked up at a boot sale years ago.
An interesting inscription on the back. Anyone know anything about the King of the Air co?
Cheers

Very interesting is it up and running?
Has the inscription date not been finished or has it faded?
It runs although needs work as the mainspring slips.Originally Posted by bwest76
Was either a hunter or half hunter case, but the outer cover is unfortunately missing. I’m sure a donor could be obtained if I put my mind to it.
I think the inscription is just 19 for 1919.

When I searched for King of the Air co
Red bull came up then a old Aircraft race.
King of the Air was a nickname for the Sopwith Camel, which would fit the period.
Excellent piece of info, I didn’t know that. Thanks Bernard.
