I so badly want to have at least one in my possession😀. Love the idea of these watches. wish they stil made them..
There are einhand watches for sale these days. The principle being that the minute hand is not that important if you can read the position of the hour hand with accuracy. Most people don't think in minutes any way, they think in "Half Past" the hour or "a quarter till".
Each minute marker represents twelve minutes going by the hour hand positioning.
Hmmm? Depends on what you are timing @Professor.😲 I've just hit 60 and have a lovely new, energetic, wife.
Minutes count these days 'Proff'!...
Minutes make the difference between being 'slightly fakked, in bed with a happy wife and being 'fatally fakked' ,in an ambulance with your widow!😟
I've even had to crank the old Speedy chrono hand into action just to be on the safe side!😁
I think I see a 19-jewel, series 5 (or 21-jewel series 10, or 23-jewel series O there), and possibly a 21-jewel series 11. Both Keystone Howards. The others are E. Howards. I like Howards. I have four Keystones, and one E Howard, as well. Two series 5s, one series 7, one series 11, and one E Howard series VII.
Your right 19 jewel series 5 and 21 jewel series 11 railroad chronometer. Was glad to get a E.Howard series III with original silver hunter case with the winding and time hole's on the case cover. The other two E.Howard's I have were recased due to idiot's melting the gold cases so you have more E.Howards movements out there than ones with cases and that makes the ones with original case more expensive.
Don't forget the cheapest of the cheap. An example of the "Dollar Watch" from February 1949. Everyone should have one.😗
And yes it still actually runs, albeit not very well.

Any one collect pocket watch fobs. Here are a few of mind some are for advertising and colleges and souvenir's and ones for politics.
How they were attached to the watch. When I did not have a lot of money and could not afford a watch I would see these at antique shows for 5-25 bucks the most I paid was 60 bucks for the buffalo bill wild west show one due to the rarity and I never seen one before this one. But these kept up my collecting when low on cash.
