Guaranteed to be as described and satisfaction guaranteed, this is a very nice Tiffany & Co 19 jewel pocket watch movement made c. 1890's which has been cased in a new custom fit 46mm stainless steel wrist watch case. Men made the switch from pocket watches to wrist watches after the first World War because they found it to be problematic to be fumbling around in their pockets to check the time with gloves on, in a trench and taking fire. Many pocket watches were converted to wrist watches in the trenches by simply soldering wire lugs on to attach them to the wrist with a strap. With it's fired glass enamel dial and dark heat blued hands this watch calls back to times past and reminds you of that every time you check your wrist. Turning the watch over an extra large observation window has been cut into the case back to observe the century and a quarter old movement. This watch is BEAUTIFUL. This watch will come with our sales receipt and our Certificate of Authenticity (COA). The idea of putting pocket watch movements into modern cases is not new. We feel that the wrong movements have been used in the past however. The conversions that watchmakers have been making have been taking the beautiful and highly accurate Railroad grade watches and casing them in custom wrist watch style cases. These are 16 or 18 size movements resulting in a ridiculously large 48mm to 56mm watches. Many require you to remove the bezel ring to get to the time setting lever. This case is 46mm in diameter (excluding the winding crown) and the lugs are designed to wrap around the wrist on swivels to minimize the "oversized" look. I only use swivel lugged cases on any case over 44mm is diameter for that reason. To build these beautiful watches we customize a brand new 316L stainless steel watch case to fit the pocket watch movement and make it work with the pocket watch style stem and winding crown arrangement. We cut the full movement sized observation window in the case back and install a glass crystal. We source a vintage movement that has had it's case previously scrapped for it's precious metals and has never been the victim of a less than qualified watchmaker and disassemble it completely. We do not cannibalize complete pocket watches for their movements. Any worn parts are replaced, all steel components are hand polished, gold jewel settings are polished, and the screws and the regulator are polished. It is cleaned and reassembled with modern synthetic oils leaving the movement more beautiful and working better than when new. The result is a literal piece of history that is beautiful and functional for a fraction of the price of the watches that the modern fine watch brands are replicating with their “homage” pieces and selling for thousands of dollars. I challenge you to find a new watch with an enamel dial that sells for less than several thousand dollars. The pictures have been taken from every angle and represent the watch well, in fact they are 3x magnified, the dial is beautiful, and the watch is polished to a perfect shine. Any imperfections you see in the shine are just reflections the camera caught. The movement has been thoroughly serviced on 08/18/2024. I believe that this movement was made by Ed Koehn for Tiffany & Co. Most would advertise it as a Patek Philippe movement, but I'm pretty sure Ed Koehn made this one. Ed Koehn was a 1/5th owner in Patek and sold his stake to go out on his own. He made movements for Tiffany and I believe that this is one of his. The quality is 100% comparable to Patek. Shown here on a slender 6.75 inch wrist. The band is a brand new 22mm quality tan Dassari brand leather strap. The original enamel glass fired dial shows next to no damage and has not been refinished or molested in any way. This is a beautiful example of this model.
