The above image reflects the state of my collection as of May 31 of this year.
The first three watches on the bottom left (left case) are all different Jones models.
I guess I'll award a prize --a small IWC promotional item-- to the first person who can identity 20 out of 21 of the remaining watches. Many can be found in the archived posts. If no one guesses by this weekend, I'll briefly identity all. Good luck if you dare try ;)

I'm not sure if I will ever be able to identify all of these watches...but it is a real treat to see the whole collection. I eagerly await the post that labels each of them.
Best regards, Jim

Now, this is what I call a "collection" - Michael, I am most impressed. There is of course no way that I would even attempt to try identify all these models - but I do say that I do recognise a few of them.....

What a unique and lovely collection. While I won't embarrass myself with trying to guess the different models, I can't wait until we all get a lesson about this wonderful group.

What the heck... Hard to tell from the small pictures but....
IWC calibre Calibre 52 Railroad Cal 95 Thin Seeland Calibre Elgin I Chrono Rauschenbach Cal 52 Cal 53 Half Hunter Cal 57 Cal 67 Cal 67 Kriegsmarine Cal 73 Cal 74 Cal 77 Cal 97 Cal 972 Cal 982 Schutzenuhr Might be variation on the above for the other 3.?
I can't believe you did it! Not perfect but as they say here "close enough for government work"! ;)
Here are my only corrections, of sorts:
1-1-4 you were right but techncially the calibre is listed as an "IWC Calibre" even though that can apply to both earlier c. 52 or 53's
2-1-1 it's a Calibre 52 Niello case (I guess you guessed both); parenthetically, I should add that I'm not a "fan" of Calibre 52 or 57 watches unless they have an special case or dial
2-2-4 the one you <u>really</u> missed. It's a Calibre 52, remarkable though for its "Rauschenbach Schaffhause" dial
2-3-2 Yes, it is Calibre 52 with a steel case, but more importantly it's a Zürich Schützenuhr
Given that only 2--3-2 was wrong, please e-mail me your shipping address and I'll send you a special prize. Congratulations!
