One Pic a Day (1 of 7)

August 13, 2021 • Leave a Comment

Here is my first photo/pic for my list of seven. If you didn't read my previous post for instructions click this link.

My first pic is of a Westclox pocket watch owned by my grandfather. I searched on Bing and Google extensively but could not find a match. I have a few emails out to some watch repair shops that specialize in vintage watches. So I am hoping for some feedback. In the meantime enjoy photo 1 of 7.

Update from a watch repair shop:

This watch is called the Man-Time and was made from 1966 to 1968. The model number is 40058 and it retailed for $9.98 when it was new. There were three models:

40056 Chrome and Gray

40058 Chrome and Black

40060 Chrome and Charcoal

There was also a vertical model.

Here’s a picture of it in the 1966 catalog

Keywords: 40058, Man-time, pocket, pocketwatch, time, watch, westclox

I am glad you found my blog. I am a photographer with a passion for awesome shots. I go to great lengths to capture many of my photos. I will re-visit a location over and over knowing there is a spectacular photo just waiting to be had if I am there at the right time. I also enjoy finding how to do some abstract projects (check out my time-lapse post) and will be writing about them.

Send me a note via my contact page for some projects you would like to see me try and write about. I am not afraid to try almost any project. Doing the obscure forces me to do things that I don't do with the typical photo shoot and helps me learn even more.
