THE MOVEMENT

Sammie,

In regards to the Montgomery dials, they were patented by H.S. Montgomery who at one time was the head of watch inspection for the Santa Fe Railway. Much has been written about Mongomery and his dials including a number of articles in the Bulletin.

The dial you pictured however, is not attributed to Montgomery. Off the top of my head, I cant remember the name of the individual who patented this design, but can look it up this evening if no else has it handy.

Three production variations have been seen for this dial. In addition to these variations, an 4th example with a brownish color has also been reported. This single example has the actual patent number obove the seconds bit.

Samie,

The name I was looking for is E.C. Fitch.

There's a picture of that dial on p. 22 of the 2003 edition of Shugart. Here is an example from my collection, also on a 21-J Vanguard M92.

THANKS EVERONE FOR THE PICTURES AND THE INFORMATION..THIS WILL ANSWER SEVERAL QUESTIONS FOR MY FRIEND AND ME ALSO.

WOULD YOU THINK THAT THESE WERE PUT ON THE MODEL 92 MOVEMENT ONLY,,THE EXAMPLES SHOWN HERE AND IN THE PRICE GUIDE ARE ALL ON MODEL 1892 WATCHES ..
