1910s rare Silver Case Wristwatch

Hi watch collectors,


Here is a rare 1910s Silver Case Wristwatch, apologise but it had been sold, but just for your viewing and education on the characteristics and design of a typical 1910s watches.


Mainly, during that era 1900s, majority of the watches are pocket watches. This is the begining of the conversion of pocket watches into the wristwatch. Typical Numerals during the early era, the most obvious is the crown to wind the watch up. It is a pocket watch crown.




The watch can be opened by unscrewing the top, and the whole movements can be removed easily. You can see the hallmark of the silver case and there is a groove where the stem sits.
The dial is porcelaine and second hand at six.




Monogram decoration on the back of the silver case, usually the initial of the owner.


I hope you all learn something today.
