Our last photo is not included with the lot but depicts a Gafftop 2 masted schooner, an America's Cup racing yacht from the 1880s, much like the one engraved on this watch. Of course, some artistic licenses were taken with the watch engraving because it was hand engraved into metal. We thank Robert Miller for the yacht information and photo!
