antique watch
Old collectible timekeeper
An antique watch is a timepiece old enough to be valued for its age, craftsmanship, or historical significance rather than just its function—typically at least a hundred years old.
The term applies to both pocket watches and early wristwatches: She inherited an antique watch from her great-grandfather.
Collectors distinguish antique from merely vintage, which usually means at least twenty years old but not yet antique.
