Hi i have a couple of us watch co pocket watches 1 is an acid watch movement i would like to know if anyone knows the approximate numbers of these made it seems very rare they come up for sale.
Also have a us watch co president two tone in excellent condition i read somewhere there was only 600 odd made then they stopped 2 tone movement in favour of just nickel plate could someone advise if this sounds right thanks jeff

Hi Jeff , It seems that US Watches have the same interest as Lancasters , could you post a picture of that President ? They are real beauty's .Wish I could help on your question about finishes , my favorite is the acid wash .

Hi i have tried to send a picture it keeps coming up file to large i dont know how to rectify when i do ill send pix of the president also a pix of us watch co unfinished movement

you need to make your pictures smaller , there is a section on posting that can help , I use a free program called picaso

Thanks good on ya kevin ill try it next couple of days

I meant to thank Lindell for his pictures , they are really fine examples , museum quality , it is really a wonder how they survived.

One small note about the O size that say's " a new watch co " is due to a lawsuit .

Dial of the president with arabic dial not as common i dont think

Movement of The President number 150211

Unfinished movement note no serial number and unfinished jewel holes

Acid etched movement

Dial of acid washed movement

Also have
18s nickel plate movement
18s gilt
6s gilt
Can post any of these or all if any one wishes

Those are really nice , how many jewels is the president ? I had read they came out as 17-21 and were slow sellers before getting called back and upjewelled ,, getting back to original question , in the earnhardt book #2 it shows old ads that give a good idea of the finish ,but we still do not know if that model was all acid washed or did they mix them up . I might be able to scan them if you have not seen them

Thanks for that pix kevin us watch had a lot of beautiful movement to answer your question is 17 jewels i was told 21 jewel ones were mainly plain nickel not 2 tone although i dont know for sure if this is correct or not

Hi again would like to know if any one knows regarding the president number of jewels when they changed to 21 jewels i was told when they changed from 2 tone movement if someone could inform me if this is correct as there is not a lot of information about this classic watch any info on this watch not covered so far is appreciated
appreciated

Maybe i should put this question a different way can any one tell me if they have a 2 tone movement with 21 jewels or if anyone with a plain nickel movement has one with 17 jewells this might answer a lot of questions regarding jewell numbers and movements
