About the Item

FACTORY / HOUSE: Howard Watch Company STYLE / REFERENCE: Art Deco METAL / MATERIAL: Steel with Exhibition Back CIRCA / YEAR: 1921 Movement / European Case from 1980's DIMENSIONS / SIZE: 55mm x 44mm MOVEMENT / CALIBER: Manual Winding / 17 Jewels DIAL / HANDS: Two Tone Dial / Breguet Moon Hands ATTACHMENT / LENGTH: Alligator, 22mm / Regular Length WARRANTY: 18 months on the movement LIFETIME SERVICE COMMITMENT Howard Watch Company was one of worlds finest watch factories. Even Patek Philippe tried to match their excellence in production and finish. Howard, by the way, is the only American Watch to ever meet the engineering criteria of the renowned "Geneva Seal" watches made in Geneva Switzerland. Watches meeting the Geneva Seal criteria, while being made in Geneva, had to meet rigorous design features which only were met by one American Watch Company, this model, made by Howard. This watch was originally produced as a pocket watch but it has been converted to a wrist watch with a custom made exhibition case. You can wear this watch all the time and count on it to get you there on time as well. And you will never see another one of these again on anyone's wrist.

Howard’s creativity helped establish the principles of industrialization and standardized parts. Howards watches were rugged and very accurate as well. Their case designs were innovative as well. Howard watches were used by scientists and engineers in military and industry because they were rugged and dependable. In 1903, the Howard Watch Company was acquired by the Keystone Watch Case Company. Keystone continued to produce Howard watches under the Howard brand name until 1935.
