Montauk Watches "Click" to Login or Register 
posted
Hi guys! I am new onboard. Thanks to all who make this website friendly! My question is this. I have a watch named Montauk. It also states this on the inside where it also states 15 jewels. The shape is octagonal(8-sides) and it has an engraving in very small letters: 1841. Can anyone tell me more about these watches? Any help is appreciated.

Welcome, Anibal, we are glad to have you with us....

There are many individuals in our organization that are willing to help you with your questions, now and future....

It always helps us if you could post some photos of the watch in question because as it has been said before, a picture is worth a 1000 words....That is certainly true here as well....

Someone may be able to help based on the info you have given but if you can, please post photos so that we have more information to help you with....

Again, Welcome to IHC185 where the horological meetings never stop....

Regards,
Jerry

I would also like to welcome you Anibal.

We all love to see photos of watches & I am looking forward to seeing yours.

The name Montauk I only know as a watch case, so I look forward to seeing your watch.

Tom

Hello Anibal, thanks for the picture....It is nice of you to post it for us....It is a nice looking watch....

Do you have any idea of the age of the watch...?
How long have you owned it...?

I have been looking at various reference books but have been unable to find anything except for one entry in the Waltham section of the book I was checking in....It would be helpful if we could see the movement from the back of the watch....Sometimes looking at the shape of the parts of the watch can lead to the identity of the maker....not always, but sometimes....

Don't give up, someone will get to the bottom of this before it's over....

Regards,
Jerry

Hi to all! Thank you for the time for the research. This watch intrigues me as well. There is a carving in very small print stating: 1841. All I nkow is that this watch is VERY old. It is a rare one as well. The previous owner said he obrained it years ago. This thing is OLD.

Would it help if I took pictures of the back and inside?
