Here you go!

Funny but I had a feeling about the inscription on that watch. Walter Hullihen was dean of the University of the South, at Sewannee Tennessee ,and president of the University of Delaware from 1920 till his death in 1944. He was a very innovative and highly regarded educator

Just to add to Tom's information. Walter Hullihen was born the 26th of May 1875 in Staunton , Va.

Below is his photo from his passport.

Here is an 18k 34mm wristwatch from about 1910, that surely started out to be a ladies pocket watch, before being converted into a wristwatch.

Movement.

For the Walter Hullihen post: I also have all of his WWI Tennessee was records. This watch is up for auction on ebay at this time.

My present favorite Waltham 15 jewel O size c1913 with seconds at 9

These are my two favorite pre-1950 wrist watches. The watch on the left is a 1914, Os, Model 4 Illinois with 15 jewels and a Sterling Fahys case with cut bezel. The watch on the right with the plain bezel is a 1916, 13L, 15 jewel Abercrombie & Fitch (movement by A. Schild). The only marking on the case says "Digold Swiss." I love these two watches and wear them more than any other wrist watches in my collection. The great looking straps came from David Boettcher in the UK. He offers several different WWI styles and the quality is excellent.

Cecil,

CONGRATS on a nice one! But be careful with that sub-9 Waltham. Before you know it you might start collecting Illinois wristwatches!

Hey Rick, Thanks,I have been wearing it for a little over a week now and it is keeping time within about 15 seconds of my atomic clock. Funny you should mention Illinois wrist watches. I have two things on my wristwatch wish list. A 21 jewel 0/s Waltham and an Illinois 0/s. I usually get what I want,so it's just a matter of time. (Pun intended)

Here's a simple 15j Model L-6.5 Waltham grade 665 from 1936. I gave it to my wife to add to her collection of art deco period wristwatches and 0s pocket watches.

Close up of what I think is a cellulose dial.

And the movement. I realize this is by no means a very collectible item, but it runs and looks pretty decent in a 10k Star Watch Case.

Just this moment spotted the post about the past Dean of Sewanee, TN's University of the South. That's only about 15 miles from where I'm sitting. A very beautiful campus, and unchanged since the Civil War, founded in 1857.

Regards! Mark

Hello everybody!
How about this one?

Gerd your Moser is just a magnificent example of a fine timepiece. There is no question about this watch being an authentic Moser. I think every piece is signed. Well, maybe not the chrystal!
