History Of This Watch:
This watch was part of a Dr. Pepper promotion with the "Darts for Dough" 1940's TV series.
This watch was given out as part of the promotion on the show, and the dial was meant to represent Dr. Peppers early slogan of "Drink a bite to eat at 10, 2 and 4"
The promotion did not go on very long, making this watch extremely rare and collectible to watch collectors and Dr. Pepper collectors alike!

MY STORY:
I am a third generation collector of all things vintage and antiques, but specifically watches and clocks.
My grandfather and father were both watch and clock makers, lending their vast interests of collecting time pieces onto me.
I have collected, traded, and sold watches along the side of my family for the past 35 years. The time has flown by, but the excitement of finding that next great time piece continues.
I'm beyond excited to pass on and share my many years of collecting with you and others in our small niche, but ever expanding watch and clock community.
Welcome to the watch and clock community. Let's tell time together.
