Shancheng 山城 odd mod

Shancheng odd mod

Shancheng was Chongqing Clock and Watch Company's top brand. This one is probably a Shancheng in name only, however, because it is an agglomeration of parts someone cobbled together, possibly quite some time ago. The subdials do not function and are just for show. The bracelet was once two-tone, but most of the plating has worn away. Don't be misled by the number of jewels stated on the dial -- the highest jewel count in a ZB-1 manual tongji from Beijing is 20. Very charming, but most definitely odd...
