Years ago, the NAWCC Bulletin publication did an article on the 21-jewel Timex movements. The article shows the manual wind version. The DeLong escapement with vertical pallet stones was used in this movement. This escapement shows up periodically in watches by makers like the E Howard company.

Thank you so much for sharing! Technology often makes the news with sexy breakthrough's but making technology affordable and rugged for the masses is often where some of the best, under the radar, innovations can be found.

Wearing my Dad's ~60 year old Timex 21 with DeLong escapement again this morning...YaY!

Been wearing this Constellation 157.0001 the last few days, I recently bought the 2041 mesh bracelet from Japan and for me it completes the look. An ultra-thin watch (with the 3mm "thick" 712 movement) on a very light bracelet is a good match.

She may be a shameless hussey re-dial, but she's my shameless hussy re-dial.

This has been something of a palate cleanser for the past week+. Will probably get it to the weekend then let my hair down.
