Rockford Watch Company was one of Americas earliest watch factories. The company was located about 100 away from Chicago. on the Rock River, hence the name. They offered their first models for sale around 1875. Since their factory was located near 3 different railroads they advertised heavily around the communities involved. This turned out to be a clever program as most of the railroad engineers bought their watches. Unfortunately the company had financial issues and by 1896 they had to reorganize the house and in 1915 they closed down. Interestingly, part of their factory was integrated into the structure for the Rockford High School years later.
We have just given it a complete professional service and it keeps dependable time as well. We will continue to service it for you. It is a large watch with an unusual case design and we supply it with pocket watch chain as well.

This is a "vault find" watch, it has been locked up for nearly 50 years, which means it needs a service. We will service it for you as part of the purchase price before it is shipped out to you. This will delay shipping for a few days of course.
LIFETIME SERVICE COMMITMENT
This great looking and classic man's pocket watch is still fitted with a flawless and original Kiln Fired Dial. These dials were made of glass and fired in a furnace at 1500 degrees. The watch is all original as well, still with its original blued steel hands. The watch is very dependable even now, but it should be serviced (which we will do included in the price). The cuvette is finely engraved with a presentation to a Captain Keller. Wherever he is, his watch is still running and will continue to run for another 200 years with a service occasionally.
