Roughsawn in Black Storage Chest
($25.00 shipping)
Made from solid roughsawn basswood and painted a matte black, this piece measures roughly 2H x 8W x 6D inches with six compartments specifically sized for collectors of smaller watches. Brass hinges with stops hold the lid up just past the vertical. A walnut blank set into the top to mount a brass presentation plaque and soft felt feet complete it. Inventory card included. Domestic sales 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 new cell phone 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.
