Antique Roskopf System Patent Pocket Watch Straits Swiss Made For Repair/Parts

A Note on the "Straits" Logo

The clover-style logo with "Straits Patent" found on this movement and case was a specific trademark used for watches exported to the "Straits Settlements" (modern-day Singapore and Malaysia) in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Perfect for collectors of colonial-era horology.
