Mahogany Storage Chest
($25.00 shipping)
This compact mahogany chest has three felt-lined trays that can hold twelve large 18-size watches. The box contains no metal at all to impart magnetism to your watches, not even in the hinge, and the lid has a rear stop just past vertical. It weighs just under three pounds and measures 4H x 7W x 8D". Comes with soft felt feet and an inventory sheet.
Watches not included. Domestic shipping only.
Isn't it time?
Imagine owning a mechanical work of art from an earlier century to tell the time, filled with tiny gears and moving parts, ticking in your pocket like a heartbeat. Many of the watches that we offer date to the 1800s and will be running long after your smartphone gets buried in a landfill.
Every vintage pocket watch featured in our Store has been completely restored back to original specs, meaning that all of its components are factory correct. Most of them are original combinations, still intact from the day that their very first owners purchased them.
Restoration Highlights
One of Illinois's rarest watches was the 23-jewel Washington Lafayette. Only 190 were ever made.
