We are constantly adding to our ever increasing range and have a large assortment of American Railroad Grade Pocket Watches. American Railroad Pocket watches. Were amongst the highest grade watches made, having been made for the railways makes them a great choice to use every day, mainly for their durability over time. Their lower production quantities and of course their high grade movements make them also a great gift or investment. A typical railroad’s requirements for a pocket watch in the early 20th century might include. Only American-made watches may be used (depending on availability of spare parts). Only open-faced dials, with the stem at 12 o. Minimum of 17 functional jewels in the movement. Size 16 or 18 only. Maximum variation of 30 seconds (approximately 4 seconds daily) per weekly check. Watch adjusted to at least five positions: Face up and face down (the positions a watch might commonly take when laid on a flat surface); then crown up, crown pointing left, and crown pointing right (the positions a watch might commonly take in a pocket). Occasionally a sixth position, crown pointing down, would be included. Adjusted for severe temperature variance and isochronism (variance in spring tension). Indication of time with bold legible Arabic numerals, outer minute division, second dial, heavy hands. Lever used to set the time (no risk of inadvertently setting the watch to an erroneous time, when winding the watch with the stem). Anti-magnetic protection (after the advent of diesel-electric locomotives). The minimum requirements were raised several times as watch-making technology progressed, and the watch companies produced newer, even more reliable models. By WW2, many railroads required watches that were of a much higher grade (as many as 23 jewels, for example) than those made to comply with the original 1891 standard. _gsrx_vers_841 GS 7.0.16 (841).

Offered here is a very special and unique timepiece with a bit of Political Nostalgia to it. In truly amazing condition, this timepiece starts with a heavy, 18K solid gold 16 Size hunters case. The case is plain polished and features a large swirling Monogram on the font bearing the initials C. The case is stamped with a raised relief “18K” hallmark and the four “DDDD” stamp denoting that the case was manufactured by the Dubois Watch Case Co. 26 Morton Street, Brooklyn N. The serial for number for the case is 251099. For a timepiece that is 118 years old, the case is as close to perfect as you can hope for. It is clean and free of dents or scratches. The monogram is completely unworn and sharp. The front cover springs open sharply when released stopping just shy of 90 degrees as an unused case should. The back and dust covers also open correctly. The hinges are all super tight with no play at all and the covers snap shut just as tight showing no gaps or discrepancies whatsoever. They exhibit that nice, crisp “pop” sound when closing. The bow is extremely tight and the crown has remained sharp and crisp. The only evidence I can find on the case to show that it was in fact carried some, are mild knife marks on the center ring of the case from opening the back covers. Overall measurements are 51mm (2″) wide x 71mm (2 3/16″) from the top of the bow to the base of the case x 14mm (1/2) thick. Overall weight of the watch is a substantial 123 grams (4.34oz)! The white, porcelain, double sunk dial is marked with black Arabic hour chapters. It is signed “Waltham”. It is in perfect condition. I can find no hairlines or issues at all. Bright blue spade pointers center the dial and it is protected by a glass crystal that is scratch free. The ultra high grade, 16 size, stem wind and set, 23 Jewel, Bridge Model, Nickel Movement is. Signed American Watch Co. 23 Jewels – Safety Barrel. When signed this way it designates one of the highest grade movements Waltham ever produced. The serial number 10552110 dates this piece back to 1901. It features a full solid gold train, solid gold jewel cups, diamond end stones, circular damaskeening and frosted winding gears. The movement is clean and bright and beautiful to view in hand. It is unscratched and undamaged. It winds and sets very smooth and is running strong and keeping good time. The dust cover features a very beautiful and professionally engraved inscription that reads Presented to our leader Hon. Page by 17th Assembly Dist. Republican Club New York City July 19th, 1906. It is my understanding that Charles Page was a New York Senator in the 17th District. In 1904 he was delegated to the Republican National Convention where Theodore Roosevelt was nominated for President. Vintage timepieces in this condition have been gobbled up by collectors for years and are becoming increasingly difficult to locate.
