Silver Elgin B W Raymond railroad pocket watch
Antique silver 1911 Elgin B W Raymond railroad pocket watch.
The great North American railroad watch became an institution after a fatal crash in 1891, which was caused in part by the stopping and then restarting of the engineer's watch, which caused it to be four minutes slow. In the early days of railroading, when trains ran by strict time and timetable rules, that four minutes proved to be fatal. As a result, in 1893, the General Railroad Timepiece Standards were adopted, which mandated high grade specifications including a minimum of 17 jewels in the movement, five adjustments, micro-metric regulation and lever set hands.
The B W Raymond model was named after Benjamin Wright Raymond, the first president and one of the primary investors in the National Watch Company of Chicago (later renamed the Elign National Watch Company).
The watch has a beautifully patterned stem-winding movement, grade 385 with ruby and sapphire jewels, which is working nicely. The grade 385 was produced in very low numbers in 1911 and 1912 with only 2000 being produced in total. The serial number on the movement, 15,330,338 dates this particular watch back to 1911.
The watch measures 56mm diameter excluding the stem and the loop. The case is silver and is stamped as such inside the case, together with the Crescent Watch Case Company mark. The case is in beautiful condition.
The watch glass is in super condition.
The signed dial is in lovely condition and has blued steel hands, a sunken subsidiary seconds dial and minute markers with red numbers to the perimeter. The bezel unscrews to reveal the lever at 2 o'clock.
The watch will be sent in a new presentation box. ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE (excluding Northern Ireland).
Please contact us before placing international orders so that we can advise of shipping prices and to see if customs regulations allow us to post watches to your country.
The international buyer is responsible for paying any import duties and taxes.
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 a VAT registered company and all purchases are covered by Consumer Regulations.
Credit / debit card purchases can be made over the telephone on 01386 750238 or you can proceed via the \'Buy Securely\' button on each listing page.
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.
