Bill CarlsonHere is an assortment and I'm not to sure of the ages, but they look old to me.. The Rockford was my father-in-laws high school graduation present in 1940 from his parents. The New haven and Westclox both still run.

Steve GossardI 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.

Steve GossardHere is an Elgin that I'm sure is in its original state. SN# 19,981,504, dates 1916.

Steve GossardOf 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.
