Antique Dueber Hampden Watch Co pocket watch
Antique Dueber Hampden Watch Co pocket watch.
The watch has a 15-jewel stem-winding movement, Hampden Star patent regulator, and beautifully patterned plates. The movement is signed Dueber Watch Co, Canton, Ohio.
The name Dueber came about because John Deuber bought the Hampden Watch Company, then based in Springfield, in 1888. Shortly afterwards, he moved the company to Canton in Ohio and by 1890, some 600 watches were being produced each day. In 1925, Dueber sold the company to Walter Vrettman but alas, the company went bankrupt just two years later and all the machinery was purchased by a Russian company, with a commitment that a handful of former staff had to teach the Russians the craft of watchmaking.
The movement is working nicely and it carries the serial number 2,754,234 which dates it back to around 1910.
The watch is slightly larger than a standard 50mm watch at 55mm excluding the winding stem and loop. The case is ‘Silveroid’, an alloy often used in watch cases around this time and it came under various names such as Silveror and Silverine. The case has some surface marking and a little unevenness to the screw-on case back but overall very acceptable for such an early piece. The silver has worn off the winding crown.
The watch glass is in lovely condition.
The dial is signed Hampden Watch Co has blued steel hands, a sunken subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers. There is a short faint hairline beneath the subsidiary seconds dial.
The watch comes in a new presentation box.
