E. Howard pocket watch with original box and receipt

Like a car, the quality of a pocket watch is not the case, but rather the quality of the movement, and here is an antique pocket watch that has such a high grade movement that is up there with the best of the best.

Made by the American company E.Howard in 1910, this pocket watch has so many wonderful aspects to it.

Made in a rolled gold case that measures 50.6mm across, the size and heft feels wonderful to hold in the palm of your hand and takes you back to a wonderful bygone era. With both sides of the case displaying a wonderful star burst design with the floral design around the edge, the hinged of the case are also in great condition and springs open beautifully to show the lovely white enamel dial that is as clean today as when it was made.

Then inside is the movement which is not only so beautiful to admire, but such high quality. The 17 jewel movement includes a very high micro-regulator and gold chatons. The gold chaton in the centre is the easiest to see with the three screw surrounding it, and were only used on the finest of pocket watches such as this one here. Just back from a full service from our in-house watchmaker, it runs beautifully and comes with our twelve month warranty.

And then to make this pocket watch even more exciting, is not only the original timber box which is signed on the top in the most beautiful font with "E.Howard Watch Co", but astonishingly it also comes with its original receipt for (US$) $37.50 when it was first sold over a century ago. To put this into perspective, a Model T ford cost $600 in 1910 and plasterers earned between 44 and 50 cents an hour.

From the box, the receipt, movement and overall condition, there is no denying that this is an exceptional pocket watch in equal condition.
