Antique American Pocket Watches
For over 47 years, I have been an avid collector of American railroad pocket watches, carefully curating examples from all the great makers — Hamilton, Illinois, Waltham, Elgin, Ball, E. Howard, and even military‑issued timepieces crafted by these companies.
In the past five years, I have chosen to share part of this collection, allowing others to enjoy these beautiful pieces of horological history. Each watch has been well cared for, serviced every 4–5 years, and kept in a safe, smoke‑free environment.
Before listing or shipping, I personally test every watch to ensure it winds, sets, and keeps time properly. If a watch is not working, I will clearly note that in the description. My listings include detailed, honest descriptions and vivid photographs from multiple angles so you can buy with confidence.
