·1888 Illinois model 1 in a solid silver case, slow train:4 beats/sec = 2hz = 14400bph!
you know there's some heavy bits moving around in there when you can hear it ticking in your pocket while you're walking along.
The model 1 was an easy model to produce for either an open faced case (yours), or a hunter cased model such as mine. Simply install the movement 90° CCW, and voila. A hunter case watch. There was a difference in the cuvette, as the winding aperture had to be drilled 90° CCW for the hunter cased model, as well. Nice!

I have another open face model one that dropped its roller jewel. Not usually a problem, unless the man who is servicing it looses your case! It’s in a nice hunter case now, so I’ve experienced the versatility of owning a key wind movement the hard way!
In defence of the watchmaker... he retired soon after as Alzheimer’s took a more solid grip and the reason for the lost case became clear. A sad way to end a career.
