I don’t really have a grail or a plan for what the collection is supposed to become. Some appeal to me because of the movement, some because of the history or technology, some have a story, and sometimes I just think a watch looks cool.
Due to a recent hand injury there aren’t many metal bracelets I can wear atm so some of these are on straps until I have a few more surgeries.
I wear them. Scratches don’t particularly bother me. Hopefully someday my kids get some of these and the scratches remind them of seeing the watches on my wrist.
That’s about as close as I have to a collecting philosophy.
Buy what I like. Wear it

Picked this up recently and haven’t been able to find much information on it. It has a Phenix-signed Swiss movement and a pretty unusual risqué dial.
I blurred the artwork just to keep the post reasonably SFW.
I’m curious about approximate age, the movement, and especially whether this type of dial would have been original to the watch or added later.
Anyone familiar with these old Phenix watches or seen another one like it?

Picked this up recently for $150 and have been trying to figure out exactly what I have. I know enough about pocket watches to be dangerous, but definitely not enough to confidently date all the parts or tell what is original.
Movement is marked Hampden, Nathan Hale, Canton O., serial 3,616,355, 15 jewels. The case is marked 14K gold filled and Dueber.
The dial is what really caught my attention. It’s a gold-tone metal dial with engraved/embossed floral decoration, Arabic numerals, a separate seconds register, and the Hampden name worked into the design. It seems much more elaborate than the typical Hampden dials I’ve been able to find.
It also came with a pretty ornate chain/fob. There’s a maker’s mark on one part that looks like BIGNEY to me, although I’m not 100% certain I’m reading it correctly. I haven’t found much useful information on that either.
The watch is running, although I haven’t had it serviced or put it on a timegrapher yet.
Mostly curious if anyone here can help with:
Approximate production date / more information on the Nathan Hale movement
Whether this style of dial was factory Hampden, aftermarket, or something added by a jeweler
What this type of dial is actually called
Whether the case/dial/movement combination looks period-correct
Any information on the chain and the BIGNEY(?) mark?
Any information is appreciated. I’ve been going down the Hampden rabbit hole with this one and would love to hear from people who know these better than I do.
