Still trying to find out some information on a so called TERRASSE Watch Co. I am starting to wonder if there was a company named this as there is so little info to be found. Could they be listed under another name or label. ANY help would be appreciated. thanks bill

This is my 12s Terrasse Watch Co. 17j with 3adj and double roller. Does your movement look the same with just a few cap jewels added?

I borrowed the terrasse "PRESIDENT" so I could try to get some photos to post. It is hart to read the face but it says "HHW CO." with the name "PRESIDENT" printed underneath. on the movement is printed terrasse watch co. 21 jewel 3 adj. double roller safety pinion. Now after looking at the photos can someone give me an aprox date and value. the watch keeps super time. thanks- Bill Alsp please excuse quality of photos- Im still learning

Came across this info on the Terrasse Watch Company. Seems they've been around awhile.

Bill your movement looks the same as mine. Just the model name on the dial is different.

thanks Mr Roland for the information on the Terrasse Watch Co. I guess this company was a lot more popular in Europe than it is here. Still trying to find a date & value on this watch so I can make an educated trade. Thanks again - Bill

Hi Bill, late 1920's would be a good time period to place these watches. The style of the metal dials, the hands and then the detailed machining of the plates etc.
Hope that helps you out. These pocket watches are not big dollar items. I picked mine up for 20 dollars running and clean. Yours may be more but not like what Omega's fetch.
