I will post three watches here. The first is a Waltham #14,865,350, which dates it at 1906. I have to qualify this one because I know it was recased at one time, and can't say for sure if it began its career as a wrist watch. ![]() | ||||

Here is an Elgin that I'm sure is in its original state. SN# 19,981,504, dates 1916. ![]() | ||||

Of course I meant that was the movement. The last one I have included because I read someplace that Hamilton was slow to get into the wrist watch market, and these early ones are kind of unusual. ![]() | ||||
