___________Mermod-Jaccard watches ...
Over the years many different interesting and high-grade watches were produced and marked for this firm by Illinois, Hamilton, Hampden, Elgin, and others.
Thought the members might like to see one of my favorites - an Illinois 16 size hunting-case Sangamo grade made for this firm and marked
"Perfection" on the movement ...

p.s. I will post a few other Jaccard's watches when I get a chance to photo them, and would love to see any other collector's examples pictured in this thread.

Jerry TreimanHere is one from Elgin. It is a 12-size (of course) 23-jewel grade 190. It was a little difficult to get the gilt lettering to show up legibly with all of the damasceening, but it is marked "Mermod, Jaccard & Co." "St. Louis" and "Superior" [scanner image]

Jerry Treiman.. is marked the same as the movement. It is in a gold hunting case marked "Mermod, Jaccard & King Jewelry Co. St.Louis -- New York"

___________Saw one 3 days ago at the Orlando regional (same serial number photoed in the Ehrhardt books), but the dial was atrocious. A shame since anything a shade above awful and I probably would have went for it.

R. J. LuckeA 940 was purchased in the parking lot at last years Orlando show. It brought quite a bit and also had a bad dial. I wonder if it was the same watch you saw?

Phil DellingerA contribution of Mermard Jaccard from my own collection. Dial is not the best, but it is still a nice watch overall. As you can see by the movement it has not been cleaned or adjusted for quite a while. Someday!
