Pocket Watch Case

Top of the line 23 Jewel 16s Howard pocket watch. Best of the best – this has the jeweled barrel, not the non-functional jewel banking pins of later models. It is missing the seconds hand and the post, and the regulator arm. Minor scattered hairlines on the glass dial. Running with good motion, perhaps the finest product of Keystone Howard. The item “E.

Gross weight of complete watch is 63.2 dwt, or 98.6 grams. Running but winding mechanism is skipping occasionally as watch is wound. Nice looking movement overall with good color and luster. Winding wheels have some oxide spots, and movement plates have some small marks around the case screw positions. Dial faces up beautifully with just a very faint hairline below the seconds-register at 27 minutes and an extremely faint outer chapter hairline at 1 minute. The present movement is not the original to the case as the case shows case screw marks from having held another movement at some time in its past. Glass crystal is excellent.

Amazing fire gilt verge fusee movement with hand pierced balance cock, silver regulator disc. It comes with a matching key. Jean-Antoine Lépine (LPine, LePine, Lepine, LEpine), was a revolutionary and inventive French watch and clockmaker, who contributed with crucial inventions for watchmaking still used nowadays. He was amongst the finest French watchmakers, who were years ahead of every other country in this respect. Around 1770, he devised a means of manufacturing a pocket watch that could be thinner, favouring the onward quest for further miniaturization. His radical design broke with a 300-year tradition and ushered in the age of precision timekeeping, the modern pocket watch was born. In addition to paving the way for the making of even thinner watches, this innovation was readily adaptable as the basic model for mass-producing watch-movements, a process that was to begin in the nineteenth century. Up to the 1840s, watches were all hand-finished, so that parts were not interchangeable. The Swiss, Leschot in particular, believed there was a market for cheaper, machine made watches with interchangeable parts. Refusing the incipient industrialization, French watch making only survived by becoming a peripheral adjunct to the Swiss watch making powerhouse, with only a few isolated Parisian cabinotiers still making truly French watches with French movements. The usual practice in the 18th century was to have the movement between two parallel plates and the balance wheel outside the top plate. The Lépine calibre discarded the top plate altogether and used individual cocks mounted on a single plate. This arrangement made it easier to assemble and repair the pocket watches, but also allowed the balance to be set to one side. Essentially, the “Lépine calibre” or “calibre à pont” , served to reduce a watchs thickness. To do this, it exchanged the traditional frame with two bottom plates for a single plate onto which the train is fixed with independent bridges. It also removed the fusee and its chain and then began using the cylinder escapement. He also invented the floating mainspring going barrel. The Lépine calibre uses bars and bridges instead of pillars and upper plates. As mentioned, the movement has no fusee which equalizes the driving power transmitted to the train, replaced instead by a going barrel to drive the train directly. This improvement was facilitated by using the cylinder escapement and enhanced springs. The calibre was quickly adopted throughout France and today its basic design is what characterizes all mechanical watches. It is important to note that the term “Lépine” can refer to both the calibre itself or a type of pocket watch with a flat, open-faced case in which the second wheel is placed in the axis of the winder shaft, in opposition to the savonete (or Hunter) watch where the second wheel and winder shaft are placed on perpendicular axes. This design has been known within the watch industry as the Lépine style ever since. Lépine’s work profoundly influenced all subsequent watchmaking, particularly Abraham Louis Breguet who used a modified version of the “calibre ponts” for his ultra slim watches. Indeed, except from the very start of his career the celebrated and extremely well known Breguet almost always used Lépine calibres and then modified them. Along with Ferdinand Berthoud Lépine was master of Breguet. NOTE:PLEASE OBSERVE CAREFULLY THE PHOTOS! IT IS A SIGNIFICANT PART OF THE DESCRIPTION.
