E. Howard Watch Co. 17 Jewels 16S Display Case pocketwatch

It’s unusual to find a display case or salesman sample case in gold fill. This Howard PW features one and it is in very nice condition with 2 original glass crystals, front and back. Other features includes a enamel dial with matching blued steel hands. All in great condition. It’s even better when you consider it is 121 years old. The movement features 17 jewels and is marked “Adjusted”, It also features a Swan Heck Micro-Regulator, gold set jewels and a gold center wheel.  

*Photos are of the watch in its current, unrestored state.

The price includes full restoration and repair. The work will be performed after purchase. This entails proper service of the movement, a new mainspring, and anything else that would be necessary to bring the watch into proper working order. Case cleaning and refinishing are also included. The extent of case refinishing, if any will be left up to the new owner.

Once you’ve made your purchase, please contact us so we may discuss the restoration and case refinishing.

Please allow 1-2 weeks after purchase for service to be completed.

Our goal is to achieve what we refer to as “Sympathetic Restoration”; in other words, bringing the watch back as close as possible to its original appearance without the need to remove all signs of its former life. We don’t want to dramatically change its history.

During the restoration, we only use period-correct parts, and in most cases, genuine factory parts from the same time period as the watch.
