Join me as I restore this rare 1936 14K gold Tissot that has survived the darkening years before World War II. This elegant solid gold watch carries the marks of 90 years of history — deep scratches, dents, and signs of a long life through turbulent times. The movement is tired and in need of careful attention.

Using my Lampert PUK 6.1 precision TIG welder and specialist tools, I carefully weld and repair the 14K gold case, refinish the surfaces, service the movement, and bring this pre-war masterpiece back to its former glory. A beautiful and rewarding restoration of a true historic survivor from darkening times!
