Grandad Smithskis Watch

This is my Grandad Smithskis Watch, Just a cheap thing, but when he was in he always had it hanging on the mirror in the back room, next to his clothes brush.
He was a truly amazing man, i never saw him lose his temper, never saw him cynical, never saw him put anyone down.
I kept this when we emptied his house 20 years ago and came across it in a drawer today. I could never get rid of it.

What are photographs about if not to preserve memories or stir emotions?
