Original Combination 12-size 17-jewel Model '08 E Howard

$849.00
Pay with PayPal or a debit/credit card

There was no higher status symbol of finance and business than a gold watch. Everything about the Keystone-Howard brand spoke of elegance, and from the graceful bridge designs to the Moorhouse-style dials to the factory gold cases, the E Howard line meant quality as well. Don't miss this handsome reminder of the days when the phrase "Made in America" still meant something.

Watch Description

The E Howard Co was organized just after the turn of the century after securing the rights to the name of the original Edward Howard line in Boston, and continued until the Depression. The new venture focused on smaller 12- and 16-size watches, making several models in each size with jewel counts all the way up to 23, and was one of the few companies to make complete watches that were already cased at the factory. This slim pendant-set Model '08 was just thoroughly cleaned, oiled and timed for the next owner, and all of its original seventeen jewels are still intact, which is an increasingly rare circumstance. The Arabic dial with the Moorhouse-style numerals is flawless behind plum spade-and-poker hands, and the 25-year gold-filled Keystone case is in excellent shape with tight hinges, a marked-but-blank cuvette, and a new beveled glass crystal.
