This is one of the rarest American pocket watches I have seen by the old American firm of Rockford, from Rockford Illinois. Firstly, it is was designed to be used around early scientific and electronic equipment as it is fitted with an experimental anti-magnetic case. Additionally the watch is also fitted with an unusual enamel dial with the traditional subsidiary seconds at 3:00 instead of at 6:00. The watch was also produced at the changeover from keywinding to stemwinding and it can actually be set with a key as well as wound through the stem.

This is one of the most unusual Illinois pocket watches I have ever seen. The white heavy gold filled case has a unique "hand hammered" finish to it. Even more unique is the original dial done with a red stippled or crackled background. I have never seen this unusual dial on any pocket watch. The hands are original as well and done in blued steel. This watch has a 17 jewel movement which is beautifully finished as well. Illinois was one of America's premier watch companies making high grade railroad watches...
