TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 16 Automatic Chronograph 41 MM

A Bit of a Mystery
I apologize (again) for the bad pictures. I really, really need to get a decent camera. My 70+ year old mother-in-law has had this pocket watch in a cedar chest for probably 50 years and it was her grandfather's. It's cased in a brass Star Watch Company case (serial# 155353) and is marked as such the face. The movement appears to be 7 jewel by Trenton Watch Co (metal bearing capped, not ruby with serial# 489089).kdk_1085.jpgkdk_1079.jpgkdk_1083-1.jpgI've been able to uncover a little of the history of Trenton Watch Co. and the Star Watch Co., but where the mystery comes in, Trenton was supposed to have stopped production at serial#410000 when they were taken over by Ingersoll in 1908 from everything I've read. This leads me to wonder if they continued producing watches under the Trenton Watch Co. brand for a time after Ingersoll acquired them. This watch would need some work to get running again and my guess is, aside from sentimental value, it probably wouldn't be worth spending th

Tutorials for novices
Hi,As some may have seen I have been buzzing around some of the forums lately and I would like to ask a couple of questions.I am a complete novice when it comes to anything to do with watches, apart from wearing one that is. This is not a situation that I wish to continue.I say this as I am waiting to get enough money to purchase a Steinhart Ocean Blue unfortunately circumstances beyond my control mean that this will take longer than anticipated.In the meantime I would like to learn a little about watches and how to go about keeping them on good order. To do this I propose to see if I can get some information that will allow me to open a watch and recognise the parts that make up the movement and so on. I have an old, extremely poor fake Rolex Daytona that I was given, it doesn't work and I would like to use it as a test to see what makes up a watch and its movement. The trouble is I can't even start as I don't know how to open the case, I'm that much of a novice.Does anyone know o

Antique swiss "Boulevard" ladies watch. Family Heirloom, info welcome!
Dug this out of an old folder labeled "Tax Deductions 69-71". I think it's from the 30's, it's some sort of gold plate or fill (judging from all the green stuff on it), the envelope was labeled "Grandma Pannalla's watch".A bit of backstory if you wish:My grandparents were depression-era people. They kept everything and would hide things of value to them. Even after Grandpa died we kept finding things hidden in folders, cloths, under furniture and all sorts of places. (Most notable was the Hamilton Nautilus 450 I have, it was the first truly vintage watch I got and it's what got me on this board and into vintage watches)Anyway, we still have boxes of records and things we pulled from their house. A few days ago we were cleaning them out (and checking them) and we came across this watch.Any sort of into on it would be appreciated. We're not going to sell it any time soon but it would be nice if we knew some more things about it.Now, about the watch. The face looks clean, labeled "Bouleva
