Hey, I know I'm a day late and a dollar short , since Columbus Day was yesterday.

Want to share your Columbus watch with us?

Last I looked, I don't think I have one to share but... maybe you do!

I have shown this before, but here it is again for Columbus day

And the movement.

The only Columbus pocket watch in my collecton, for Columbus day....

I actually have a couple of Columbus watches. This is the nicest one.

Here's an early Gruen Columbus that is a private label for John Brenner, Youngstown, OH

Here is another one--A North Star grade.

Okay, I'm a few days late and a lot of dollars short... Click on this link to see my 23J Columbus Railway King... Whoa, have you seen this Canadian dial...? Look real close at the outer chapter.

Cool dial Joe! Usually they have the 13-24 numbers in little cartouches superposed on the Roman numerals. Never saw them radially oriented in the outer chapter before.

here is another Columbus 24 hour dial

I've posted this before. A nice transitional movement but a gorgeous custom dial (probably Ohara)in a heavy 14K gold case.

Peter,

Wow! A beautiful watch and stunning dial... Sweet!

Thanks guys for participating for Columbus Day. I've enjoyed viewing your unusual and quite beautiful Columbus dials and movements.

Let's not stop here, even if Columbus Day has come and gone, if others would like to contribute, please feel free to!

I spent some time this evening picking out some outstanding Columbus watches for the Exhibit at the Symposium tomorrow in Cleveland. Included will be the 25 Jewel Railway King and both HC and OF examples of the 21 Jewel New Columbus Ruby (In addition to my grade 18).
