I’m trying to complete a project that I have been working on for several years.
I have been researching the extra thin models, The A. Lincoln 19 jeweled model and the Marquis/Marquis Autocrat 17 Jeweled models.

The conclusion of the project is the names that these watches where sold under.
Examples, Eton, Oxford, Cambridge, Barrister, Cushion, Acorn, Pioneer, Trustee, Dictator, and Dean are names that are associated with these models.

In catalogues, circulars and advertisements for the watches, seem to conflict regarding some names of the watches.

If you have any info that would help my project to come to a conclusion, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Jim Carroll

Jim,

The model names you listed are for case styles. These do not seem to be as closely controlled as grade names, so I would not be surprised to see quite a bit of variation in the advertising copy.

I believe the dials styles were also named separately.

Are you only interested in the model 3 Extra Thin?

I have been mostly interested in the model 1XT, 2XT and the 13 size, which are closely related.

The grades 522, 525 and 527 are all 3XT

Lindell,
That’s a very nice movement that you have posted thanks.

Tom,
That’s probably correct about the case shape or design naming most the models, I believe the metal dials where numbered not named, and the figure type had a separate number also.
You could buy a new metal dial e.g. dial No. 47 with figures No. 250.
Model 3 extra thin models are enough for me at the moment as I don’t see many 1XT, 2XT or 13 sizes.

Here is a pic of the dial of my Abe Lincoln model 3. The movement is the same as Lindell's, but a slightly earlier SN.
