Pocket Watch Case

Here is a SUPERB and a highly sought-after VINTAGE Elgin RAILROAD GRADE pocket watch in an 18K SOLID GOLD HUNTER CASE…. The serial number indicates the estimated year of production to have been 1879, with the personal engraving on the cuvette cover revealing a presentation date of Dec. The engraving shows the presenter of this watch to have been Farnham & Lovejoy which a Google search shows to have been a Minneapolis Law Firm at the time, the watch comes with its original box that is signed Eustes Bros. Which another Google search shows to have been a jewelry store on Nicollete St. This example is a grade 50 model 1 convertible movement and was in production at The Elgin National Watch Co. There were only 36000 made during those 17 years, so it is a somewhat scarce model and unusual to find one now that is in this great condition some 135 years later…. The watch is in good running order and keeping time, the dial is nearly flawless, the Breguet style hands are in excellent condition, and the case is in good cosmetic condition with all the inside surfaces being polished to perfection, the hinges function properly and the covers rest open to the correct ninety degree angles… The front and rear covers are each signed 18K and hallmarked 18K and have tested to that content both electronically and with acid testing, gross weight 143.5 grams…. The rear cover is superbly engraved with a multi-themed scene and maintains most of its original detailing, while the front cover details are worn thin…. One interesting feature regarding the Mosely regulator__it has a traveling nut arrangement and this example is unique in that the curved threaded rod that holds the nut is a very strong BLUED STEEL COLOR… Thank You Very Much.

THIS WATCH IN IS VERY NEAR MINT CONDITION PERFECT GLASS PORCELAIN JULES JURGENSEN COPENHAGEN SIGNED DIAL! THIS WATCH RUNS PERFECTLY AND KEEPS EXCELLENT TIME. THIS WATCH LEFT THE FACTORY IN 1860 AND WAS A KEY WIND AND KEY SET POCKET WATCH. THE STORY I WAS TOLD BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER IS THAT AROUND THE TURN OF THE CENTURY Mr. STORY DECIDED THAT HE PREFERED THE NEW KEYLESS WATCHES BUT COULD NOT FIND ONE OF THIS QUALITY SO HE HAD A MASTER WATCH MAKER (not known if it was a Jules Jurgensen watch maker) CONVERT THIS WATCH TO PENDANT WIND AND LEVER SET. WHAT AN INCREDIBLE JOB HE DID AND WAS OBVIOUSLY A VERY TALENTED & SKILLED WATCHMAKER. HE THEN HAD A MASTER JEWELER FILL IN THE TWO WHOLES WHERE THE KEYS WERE INSERTED THROUGH THE DUST COVER TO WIND AND SET THE WATCH. IT IS A NEARLY PERFECT CONVERSION AND MASTERFULLY DONE. THIS WATCH IS NOW STEM WIND AND LEVER SET. IT WINDS AND SETS NICELY. THE ORIGINAL ROSE WOOD BOX IS IN VERY NICE CONDITION, ESPECIALLY FOR BEING 156 YEARS OLD. THE INSIDE LINER IS SIGNED JULES JURGENSEN COPENHAGEN. A HUGE NUMBER 9039 IS STENCILED ON THE BACK OF THE BOX, THE SERIAL NUMBER OF THE WATCH. THERE IS A THIN BRASS BAR THAT RUNS ALONG THE FRONT OF THE CASE THAT IS ALSO SIGNED JULES JURGENSEN COPENHAGEN. THE ORIGINAL FACTORY PAPER IS SIGNED JULES JURGENSEN CHRONOMETER and WATCH MAKER. This is to certify that the accompanying Patent Watch No. 9039 has been manufactured in my establishment. Copenhagen, the 12 Jan. 1860 and then signed by Jules Jurgensen. BOTH THE SOLID 18-KARAT GOLD BACK COVER AND INNER DUST COVER HAVE THE SERIAL NUMBER 9039. THE NUMBER IS ALSO SIGNED UNDER THE DIAL. THIS WATCH IS JUST BEAUTIFUL! THIS IS THE VERY DESIREABLE HUNTING CASE MODEL IN SOLID HEAVY 18-KARAT GOLD FULLY HALLMARKED NUMBERS MATCHING 100% AUTHENTIC IN PERFECT WORKING CONDITION KEEPING PERFECT TIME!
