Wathier Special Railway Chronometer. 18 size 17 jewel hunting case lever-set “Wathier Special Railway Chronometer” pocket watch. A rare and interesting private label watch with movement marked “Wathier Special Railway Chronometer, Chicago” and with double-sunk enamel dial marked Wathier’s Chronometer, Chicago. Movement has a standard lever escapement and is very attractive with a terrific 2-tone gold and nickel damaskeen finish and with gold-flashed screws and regulator assembly. Watch is housed in a gold-filled hunting case with a small lakeside home scene at its center rear. Movement serial number is 439143. Running and a beautiful movement with excellent 2-tone color and luster. Some movement screws have gilt loss or are non-gilt replacements. Center jewel setting appears to have been rotated 90 degrees as the brass setting has two extra witness marks visible from jewel setting screws. Dial faces up beautifully but has some scattered faint to very faint hairlines, a few minuscule edge nicks under the case bezel, and a minuscule surface nick near the edge outside the 52 minute position. Case shows moderate even wear with reduced engraving detail, a small dent to its band at 12 O’clock, some scattered dings, and bezel is brass colored with no gold finish remaining.
