Antique New York Standard Pocket Watch

1900 - 1920
Description

Antique New York Standard pocket watch.

The watch has a seven jewel stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed New York Standard Watch Co USA.

The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the loop. The bi-metal case back is stamped inside the case back with the name Silverode, an alloy often used in watch cases around this time and it came under various names such as Silveroid and Silverine. The decorated bezel is also Silverode, while the centre section is gold plated. The case is in good condition, just a couple of minor small indentations to the back.

The thick glass lens is in good condition.

The signed dial is in lovely condition with original blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

Declaration

Please contact us regarding international shipping.

All of our watches are checked over before listing, and are also checked for accuracy which is usually within around +/- two to three minutes over 24 hours (unless otherwise stated), which is considered respectable for a vintage watch.

We are an on-line only business and do not have facilities for callers. Our offices are open from Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.

With regards to appraisals / valuations, we receive a huge number of information requests each day and unfortunately do not have the manpower to deal with them all individually. Our advice would be to contact a local auctioneer for a full appraisal.

This Edwardian open-face pocket watch dates to the 1920 period. The piece uses gold plate, enamel, glass, and steel materials with a gold colour. The design exhibits an engraved bezel, a sub-seconds dial, Arabic numerals, and an open-face casing. The round watch has a white enamel face featuring black Arabic numerals marked Standard, a subsidiary seconds dial at the bottom, and blued steel hands. The gold-tone metal casing displays intricate decorative engraving along the border and a textured winding crown with a loop at the top. The watch measures 50 mm in diameter excluding the winding crown and the loop. Suitable as a decorative collector's item or a period accessory, this timepiece sits comfortably on a desk in a gentleman's library or study, adding vintage character to interior display arrangements.

FAQs

An open-face pocket watch is a timepiece designed without a protective metal cover over the glass crystal, featuring the winding stem positioned at 12 oclock and usually a sub-seconds dial located at 6 oclock.

These timepieces were typically constructed using gold-filled, rolled gold, or nickel cases combined with fired vitreous enamel dials, blued steel hands, and internal brass movements.

Authenticity is verified by checking for serial numbers stamped directly onto the movement, maker trademarks inside the case back, enamel dial construction, and the presence of a mechanical balance wheel rather than modern battery components.

An antique pocket watch can be displayed on a specialised brass or glass pocket watch stand on an office desk, placed under a small glass cloche, or arranged in a shadow box display.

To preserve a mechanical timepiece, store it in a moisture-free environment, avoid overwinding the mainspring mechanism, keep it clear of strong magnetic fields, and arrange for professional servicing by a horologist every few years.
