Swiss Reminder with Alarm Pocket Watch/Travel Clock, New-Old-Stock in Original Box c.1900

New Listing!

Here's a rare and unusual ALARM Swiss pocket watch from the turn of the century in absolute MINT New-Old-Stock condition and in it's original wood box with instruction papers! Nice large man's sized 50mm gun metal case with gold bow and crown is flawless. Back case cover opens to provide a stand for desk or bedside. Nickel cuvette with alarm on-off switch and regulator window and marked with the Swiss patent number 31779. We have not opened the back to photograph the Swiss pin-set movement but it is running like new and keeps great time and the alarm works perfectly and sounds a good loud ring. The main spring powers both the watch and the alarm. Flawless white porcelain dial signed "REMINDER" with an arrow indicating setting of alarm hand is done counter clockwise. The alarm is set by rotating the bezel counter clockwise and the time is set by depressing the pin and turning the crown clockwise. Fitted original wooden box is in excellent condition and still contains the original papers and instructions. With a decidedly military appearance, this may have been made for use in World War One. This very early example of a mechanical alarm watch has never been used or carried and would make a superb addition to any Movado Ermeto, alarm, desk clock or pocket watch collection.

Elgin Historically Important WW2 American-Soviet Union Lend-Lease Watch "To Our Allies in the USSR from the people of the USA" c.1941

New Listing!

 

Here is a remarkable survivor of World War Two for you history buffs and military collectors. This Elgin is one of less than 3,000 watches provided to the Soviet Union by the United States under the Lend-Lease agreements at the beginning of World War 2 for use by Soviet combat officers and it bears the engraving on the back in Russian; "To Our Allies in the USSR from the people of the USA" This historically important Elgin is in remarkable condition for a combat veteran coming out of Russia after seeing military service against the Nazi's plus 67 years. The 30mm x 37mm snap back case is in great shape with no corrosion, damage or wear thru. The factory original dial shows some age but still quite presentable, especially for a Russian war watch.  The original Elgin cal. 580 7 jewel movement is clean with no corrosion and is running strong and keeping good time. Original crown, but the flawless crystal is probably a recent replacement. Vintage watches coming out of the old Soviet Union these days are in notoriously poor condition and have invariably been worn out and re-built, re-painted and re-cased and original examples in decent condition like this are quite rare. We can only guess that the inscription "To Our Allies in the USSR from the people of the USA" saved this watch from being worn  and worn out in Stalinist Russia and the cold war years after. Getting caught wearing such a watch may well have gotten a person sent to Siberia. Fitted with a modern and new Russian made black leather 16mm strap.
