Railroad Time Pieces
The earliest American pocket watch to gain popularity was the railroad watch. It continues to be regarded as the best American watch ever made and is highly sought after by serious collectors. It was designed to maintain the high standard of railroad time. The scenes depicted on the cases portrayed train engine conductors, pastoral and village scenes, animals, birds, and other symbols of the railroad industry.
Mail OrderTime Pieces
In 1896 the Waterbury Watch Company contracted with the Ingersol brothers Charles and Robert to produce a Dollar Watch. This item was sold extensively through mail order for $1.00 and quickly gained popularity. Although production of the Dollar Watch has ceased it represents a milestone in the time-keeping industry.
The 1890s marked the height of popularity for pocket watches for men and women. Mens watches were distinguished by elaborate embossed illustrations of animals and pastoral scenes, nautical images, and hunting scenes The leading manufacturers of railroad timepieces included the Elgin, Hampden, and Waltham companies.
Catalog Timepieces
Sears and Roebuck offered a variety of pocket watches through their catalog. They used American made watch movements which helped to make their watches affordable to the average working person. They also introduced a solid sterling silver case.
Effects of World War I
After World War I the wrist watch replaced the pocket watch. The wrist watch was more practical to wear and allowed the wearer to quickly and easily check the time. It was not until the1970s when collectors began to recognize the many interesting and valuable features of the early mass production pocket watch success.
