E. Howard Watch Co. Series O Pocketwatch 16S 23 jewels, signed Howard case
Here we have one of the great American Railroad grade pocketwatches. These E. Howard Watch Co. watches were some of the best made watches and railroad timekeepers in their day. This piece dates to 1911, that’s 113 years old and although it may not keep as good of time as it did when new, it can still perform as well as most modern Certified Chronometers. That is of course after a proper servicing. That service is included in the price of this watch.
*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.
