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. |

Early Key
wind and set Pocket Watch in Extra Fine Condition, c.1875 |
|
New Listing!

|
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. |

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. |
