When I was taking trigonometry, he was a Methodist preacher and couldn't afford good things.
APPRAISER: So he gave you quite a gift.
GUEST: He did.
APPRAISER: Have you worn it or used it since?
GUEST: Not so much.
APPRAISER: Okay.
It's made by Juvenia, a very fine Swiss watchmaking company.
They were founded in 1860.
This particular model is called the Arithmo.
Comes from the word "arithmetic."
APPRAISER: They introduced this in 1945.
It's in a stainless steel case.
It's a 17-jewel automatic self-winding movement.
This was a calculator.
This company, Juvenia, they proclaim theirs to be the best.
Solid, nice construction.
The rotating bezel.
So you can do your calculations by moving it around.
Currently it's not moving; it's not working.
It's probably gummed up, which is very common with these watches.
It happens.
And a cleaning and an overhauling, it'll be working just fine again.
This watch today, retail, this will sell for between $7,000 to $8,000.
GUEST: Wow.
It's priceless to me, 'cause my dad gave it to me, but that's, that's wonderful to know.
And I made an A in trig, so... it helped.
APPRAISER: (laughs) I guess it worked, it did its job.
GUEST: It-it did its job.
