I got this Elgin 16s pocket watch in today with some rather wierd changes made to it. Anybody know what these were done for? Part of the "elgin national watch co." can be seen around the edges of the enlarged barrel area. Other than that, I have no idea!

Thanks,

Jared

Front Side

Perhaps modified to work in a rim wind case

It is a tran-sonic coal buring 8 day bomb timer. The Patent Applied for looks like it has been added too!

David-

I was thinking someone had it in their pocket when they were abducted by aliens and it was somehow converted to a tracking device before they were brought back to earth!

I may be mistaken, but is this a Back to the Future winding adapter?
