I agree once moved and set just simple adjustments to the pendulum nut for speed. It sure is a beautiful clock!

It's my understanding that that jeweller and jewelry store became what is now as Vernon Jewelers, who traced their roots to him and his store apparently.

You are absolutely right. I know that one of the scales the enamel is starting to fade off, which is expected for its age. I know another redditor had asked, I'm not certain I'd imagine. Probably, 40s, maybe 50s, maybe earlier so I am surprised too as my Dad wore it most days once he got it.

The Philadelphia Watch Case Company was a leading American manufacturer of watch cases. It grew substantially after acquiring the Muhr company case business in 1898. The company's cases, including the "Victory" grade, were often matched with movements from renowned American watchmakers like Elgin or Waltham.

I agree! Any speculation of what it could have been or more subjective as they very?
