All of the watches in this section have movements that were orphaned because of damage, scrappers melting the cases down, or flippers gutting intact watches and selling the pieces. None of them were parted out here, and they have all been restored back to factory specs using the same precise methods as those watches still in their original cases above.
These new pocket watch cases are produced to exacting tolerances in the 1890s railroad style with tall pendants and round bows out of anodized billet 6061 aluminum, 360 brass, and mild steel, right here in the United States. Show off your classic railroad-era pocket watch movement in one of these new American-made cases!

Shipped FREE anywhere in America.
Safely store your watches in a custom-made chest with felt-lined trays sized specifically for that purpose, or show off your very best pieces in a shelf display with glass domes for your mantel, a special presentation box for a single watch, or a mirrored wall case with hidden lighting in an array of hardwoods, finishes, and hardware.
Avoid nasty falls and subsequent impacts with these handy 14-inch chains with a spring snap at the bow end and a belt clip at the other one. Keep one on each of your carry pieces and never drop a watch again.
Available in gold-tone or bright silver.
Shipped FREE anywhere in America.
All watches ship free to anywhere in America, including Alaska and Hawaii. International customers will pay actual shipping costs plus packaging, and we are not responsible for Customs delays, duty or import tax. We do not ship to Asia, Africa, or South America.
All watches are shipped via the USPS First Class option with tracking, using a double-boxed 5x5x5-inch carboard box, which will fit most mailboxes. We do not offer any other method such as Registered or Next Day, or use any other carrier like FedEx, UPS or DHL.
Leather straps are shipped in padded envelopes.
Insurance is your option in either direction, but you are responsible for the extra cost. Having shipped hundreds of watches we can tell you the USPS has yet to lose any of them, and that there is something to be said for flying under the radar in a plain brown box.
As mentioned above, every watch is double-boxed with plenty of padding and shipped to your specified address with tracking, but if the watch arrives damaged or gets lost in transit it's entirely up to you to open a claim, prove its value and seek restitution from the USPS.
