American Waltham Large 18s Sterling Silver Engraved Hunter Cased Key Wind, Key set Pocket Watch with Sterling Chain, Extra-Fine, c.1882

What a beauty this old gentleman is and in remarkable all original condition. Full sized 18s 55mm diameter solid sterling silver hunter case with 4 hinges for cover, bezel, back and cuvette. All hinges are in great condition with no damage or repairs. Beautiful Victorian engraving with engine turned and floral pattern with cartouche and a coin edge. Inside the back is still the original watch paper from Waltham with a picture of the factory and certifying it's silver content. Beautiful original white porcelain dial with no chips or hairlines and original blued steel hands with no corrosion. Original round bow is still tight and stem cover release works properly. Case pops open and closed properly. Key wind from back and key set on hands. Key setting is a little tricky but not a problem if you are careful, it may need a better key though because it seems to fit correctly to wind the watch but it seems perhaps a size too big for hands set. Powered by the original Waltham Broadway movement that is crisp and clean, running strong and keeping very good time.  Comes with a solid sterling silver graduated Albert chain with dog clip and t-bar and a very worn 1890 Seated Liberty U.S. dime fob. Just a great old watch from the Old Wild West era.

Movado Ermeto Moon Phase Triple Calendar Manual Wind, Near Mint, c.1950

Ermeto's are just so hard to find in decent original condition where the leather covers have not shrunken away from the case edge or been torn or damaged. This example is in just excellent original condition. Beautiful brown crocodile leather cover is snug fitting and in wonderful near mint condition. The pattern on the leather has been carefully matched up on both the front and back of the case. Factory original white and silvered two tone dial with gold applied numerals and minute register surrounding the 31 day date register with windows for day and month and moon phases. Dial is crisp and clean and pristine.  Gold filled case with easel stand and chain loop. Case is excellent with no damage, scratches or personalization, it closes snugly and is clean and straight. We did not get a photo of the pristine original Movado Swiss movement that is bright and clean and keeping very good time with all pushers and complications working properly. Factory original crown. This is a manual wind Ermeto that does not wind the watch when opening and closing. These were available as an option later in the Ermeto line to provide a more reliable purse or pocket watch with fewer parts to go wrong, the automatic winders almost always needed to be hand wound anyway. Fitted with what we believe to be the factory original braided leather watch chain in excellent condition. 

Movado Ermeto Pocket-Purse Watch with Automatic Wind and Two-Tone Round Dial, All-Original Extra Fine+ Condition, c.1940

Here we have a superb Movado Ermeto pocket or purse watch with the self winding mechanism that winds the watch each time the case is pulled apart to read the time and with the very scarce two-tone round dial produced during the 1940's war years. Black genuine baby alligator cover is in excellent condition with no tears, stains or damage. Mint stainless steel case with easel stand for bedside or desk. Sweep seconds hand and original luminous filled hands that exactly matches the luminous material on the Arabic numerals. The luminous material has long since lost it's glow and there is a small amount of loss in the minute hand. Sweep seconds are rare on Ermeto's. The dial on this watch changes color as it catches the light and is just stunning. Two tone bull's-eye dial with silvered square frame is factory original finish and looks as clean and beautiful as when new. Original Eidelweiss crown. Powered by the original Movado 15 jewel Swiss movement that is serviced and keeping very good time.

Windsor Large Cigarette Lighter-Watch with Art Deco Tortoise-Shell Enamel Case from Post-War Japan, All Working Extra-Fine Cond. c.1947

Here's a very cool collectable watch that snaps into a large sized cigarette lighter with art deco engraving and tortoise-shell enamel front and back. Lighter measures 43mm x 55mm and the the removable mechanical wind watch measures about 28mm in diameter. The lighter works as does the watch and everything is in near mint condition and the only cosmetic issues are a couple of very small chips to the enamel on the back. I doubt if the lighter has ever been filled or used as the wick is unburned. The watch winds without removal from the lighter and is running fine and keeps reasonable time. Made in Japan just after the end of WW2. A very cool and handsome addition to any nice lighter or watch collection.

Early Key wind and set Pocket Watch in Extra Fine Condition, c.1875

Superb condition large 18s 56mm key wind and set pocket watch with mint white porcelain dial. Solid nickel case with hinged bezel, back and Cuvette. The case and movement show no signatures or other identifying makers marks but we believe this is an American made watch, though it could be Swiss or English. The high quality jeweled full plate movement is crisp and clean and bears only the one million plus serial number and the patent date of May 11th, 1875. It is running well and keeps good time. The white porcelain dial is without chip or hairline with black Roman numerals and single sunk sub seconds at 6:00. Bow is snug and secure and all covers snap shut smartly. Hinges are great. Key wind and key set by hands. A beautiful old watch from the era of the Old West, this would be perfect for the wild west shooter or re-enactor.

 Endura Tel-O-Timer Rotary Telephone Timer/Watch NOS c.1955

Very cool. This is a very unusual Swiss timepiece that was made to attach to the center of a rotary telephone dial. This was a very convenient timepiece that not only gave you the current time, it also let you keep track of the length of your phone calls. This was important in those days as long distance calls were very expensive and you were charged by three-minute blocks of time. We take long distance calls for granted today but they were quite costly in those days and you tried to keep them under three minutes. If you went over, you may as well keep talking because you were already going to be charged for the next three minutes. This neat Swiss watch has the date at 3:00 and  a programable timer at 9:00 and IT WINDS AUTOMATICALLY AS YOU DIAL THE PHONE! Never sold and absolutely new old stock complete with original box and instruction papers. We have never seen one of these before. Very cool, very collectable.
