Nice watch Mike. I love the radial marginal minute numerals on these Keystone Howards.


Best Regards,

I read some were that Howard did the marinal minute numbers so they did not have to pay montgomery due to his patent I mite of saw that here or at another forum has any one ever heard that before?

If you look at your post you will see a little file folder with a pencil & eraser in the lower right corner, click on that will let you edit or delete your post.

Also welcome to the club, I noticed your new membership number!

Any of the "Numeric" dials which did not have the "6" in the seconds chapter skipped our on the $0.25 fee that Mr. Montgomery was reportedly asking for his design patented dial.

The nifty thing about the Howard was their semi "swiss" orientation of the numeric minute prints. Elgin (for5 example) simply "copied" the Monty and left the "6" out.
