E. Howard Watch Co. was in operation from 1902-1930 and produced some of the most high-end American pocket watches manufactured, as the company only produced watches with 17+ jewels. Watches were produced in their factory in Waltham, Massachusetts.
This Howard pocket watch was manufactured in Waltham, Massachusetts, and was finished in 1912. It is powered by a 21 jewel Howard in-house movement that features a motor barrel complication. This model was manufactured for one year between 1911-1912 with only 3,950 produced. The movement features sapphire jewels and a three finger bridge so the entire gear train of the movement is on display. The movement has been custom refinished with vibrant blue accents, which were created by thermally treating each movement part by hand to color the iron based components. The hands of the watch have been restored to their original, blue color using the same thermal treatment process. The Howard dial is in excellent condition, features Arabic Numerals, and the dial material is porcelain-enamel. The dial also features a sub second hand that complements the over profile of the watch face.
The watch is housed in a stainless steel wristwatch conversion case, making it perfect for wearing and enjoying on your wrist. The case is designed in the driver configuration, originally created to allow for easy time checking while driving. The watch is fully serviced and ready for your next adventure.
