From time to time, there are surprisingly anomyous donations. Since I cannot thank the sender directly, I will do that here:
anonymous donation, February 2017
In February 2017, the movement archive got a nice suprise donation with a handful of quarz movements (among them a Junghans 644.41, the smallest inhouse quarz movement - unfortunately not in working condition) and a Junghans 687.00 in very good condition.
anonymous donation of 2017
In January 2017, the movement archive got a very kind donation, which consists of the following movements:
An unknown ETA cylinder movement, AM 612 or 617, AS 992, maybe an ETA selfwinding ladies' watch movement, an EB 8481-74, Kasper 100, AM 624 and an AM 72.
As soon, as these movements are officially sorted into the archive, they will be presented on the movement pages.
Swatch Skin Ligne De Vie SFK119
This Swatch Skin, model Ligne De Vie SFR119 was one day in my post box without sender information. It’s a very interesting quarz watch, since it is extremely flat with an unbelievable low height of 3.7mm. Probably one of the most flat quartz watches ever made in mass production.
Citizen Noblia & Pappwatch
This is a pretty interesting anonymous donation, having low-end and high end quarz watches together. On the left the german (Berlin-Kreuzberg) Pappwatch, on the right the tiny Citizen Noblia ladies' watch with the smallest quartz movement, I’ve ever seen.
Swatch, pocket watch and more
In January 2023, there was an explicitly anonymous donation, consisting of a hot-glued
swatch (to a strap) with an ETA 2842, and many other interesting movements and watches,
and also some quartz watches and straps.
Especially the ETA 2842 is a very interesting addition to the archive, as you will
see in summer 2024 (yes, the pipeline is already this long), when it will be
shown.

Anker cocktail watch with Durowe 72
In August 2023, an anonymous donation of a wunderfully preserved Anker cocktail watch reached the archive. These kind of watches are very rare to find in this condition! Since its movement, a Durowe 72, is gummed, it will get a service when it’s put into the archive.
In summer 2024, an anonymous donator sent a very nice “Anker” gents watch with a 21 jewels FHF 67 to the archive:
