HOWARD WATCHES VALUE FULL

Firstly people tried to service watches themselves as the cost of a watchmaker may not have been affordable. The Great Depression impacted watchmaking and watches in two ways. Like many watches from the 20s and 30s, it was unfortunately marked with the telltale signs of вЂњwatchmakersвЂќ from the time. Restoring pieces from the past (as I obviously canвЂ™t restore pieces from the future) is why I love doing this, and the time I was able to restore my own past was a feeling apart from any other. While it is a beautiful and well-made movement there is nothing particularly fascinating it, except that one of favorite experiences in watchmaking was fixingВ my great grandfatherвЂ™s pocket watch of the same caliber and era. This particular Howard modelВ is one of my favorite classic American pocket watches.

I had to buy it just because I wanted to see what a full set from this era felt like. It even came with the original canvas bag labeled вЂњHoward Watches.вЂќ Anything accompanying a pocket watch is rare, but a full set like this is insane. This 1920 Howard I recently got in however had them and more. The vintage pieces I restore however rarely have a box, let alone papers. Sometimes it can border on the obnoxious (take for example one of my Omega Speedmasters which you can read about here: ) but they sure as hell made sure I donвЂ™tВ lose the box. It drastically helps resale value, and many modern watch companies put a great deal into their packaging. I want boxes and papers to come with my watches. When it comes to my personal collection, a full set is a must.
