Barry's World : About Time : Railroad Pocket Watch Dial Clocks
Pocket Watch dials are the same as clock faces, right? Well, usually... The classic American railroad pocket watches of the late 1800s and early 1900s had dials unlike any clocks that have been produced before or since and are truly beautiful. They were created by such companies as the American Waltham Watch Company, the Illinois Watch Company (maker of the famous "Bunn Special"), the Hamilton Watch Company, the Elgin Watch Company, the Howard Watch Company and the Ball Watch Company.
The faces of these clocks feature replicas of actual classic American railroad pocket watch dials from the late 1800s-early 1900s. They're the perfect gift for anybody who collects or admires classic RR watches.
[Note that the separate second hand dial at the bottom of each dial is for decorative purposes only.]
