QEII. Lost watch Posted by Beth on January 5, 2019, 5:36 am I think we are all familiar with the story of how QEII lost her watch early in 1955. Billed as the world's smallest watch, it had been given as a gift to her from France in 1938. What I hadn't appreciated is that a unit of military men with metal detectors had joined in the search for the watch, which apparently has never been found.

Re: QEII. Lost watch Posted by Dave on January 6, 2019, 12:20 am, in reply to "QEII. Lost watch" This is an interesting story. I wonder how many more jewels have been lost and never make the headlines. Regards, Dave. Previous Message I think we are all familiar with the story of how QEII lost her watch early in 1955.
