How to Find Info About Your Pocket Watch The Pocket Watch Database has compiled data covering the major American pocket watch manufacturers and created an easy way to find information using the serial number on the watch movement. Here are a few tips to find information about your pocket watch: • Always input the serial number from the pocket watch movement (the 'guts' of the watch).

• Never use the serial number from the case or any other part. • If the serial number includes a letter, enter it along with the number when using the lookup feature. • Many pocket watch case backs screw off. Others may require a dull wide blade to pry or pop the cover.

Be careful not to scratch or damage the movement. • Always select the correct manufacturer, which is usually stamped on the watch movement. • If the manufacturer is not listed on the site, you may have a 'private label' watch or it may not be American-made. • Understand that many companies did not keep accurate or complete records.

As a result, information displayed on this site may have inaccuracies. This is to be expected, and we have included an option to report inaccurate information on the result pages so the database can be continually improved.

Ieee 1394 firewire 800. My recent find of a Swiss Made Rolex 17 Jewel, 'Extra Prima' 49mm pocket watch, in an English 9K A.L. Dennison Demi Humter case, has me a little confused over the movement serial number. The SN 6100550 does not make sense when referenced to the date of manufacture in the 'Complete Price Guide to Watches'. That SN puts the movement at around 1979-80, unlike the Birmingham Hallmarked A.L.

Dennison case, which dates at 1930. Plus, there is an inscription on the dust cover with a presentation date of August 11, 1932, by 'Alice'.

Can someone shed some light on this Serial Number dating mystery? I have included some photos. If you read the 'fine print' accompanying that serial number-date list in the 'Complete Price Guide.' , note the emphasis on the word 'Approximate.' Actually, I doubt that the list even applies to Rolex standard pocket watches at all! As far as I know, the only pocket watch movements turned out by the Rolex/Aegler movement factory were an unusual, unconventional design based on the duo-dial design. They never made conventional pocket watch movements 'from scratch' themselves.

Instead, they bought pocket watch movements from other Swiss manufacturers, and then probably added some of the finishing 'Rolex' touches themselves. I have no idea just how much of the finishing was done by the movement manufacturer and how much may have been added by Rolex. For example, the 'Rolex, 42-43mm, three adjustments, cam regulator, exposed winding gears' pocket watch pictured in the two latest issues of the 'Complete Price Guide.'

That I have (1997 and 2004 editions) is quite easily identified as a product of the Revue-Thommen (G. Thommen) factory in Waldenburg, Switzerland. Your watch appears to be more highly finished, and certainly more closely adjusted (temp.

I have seen several of the Cortebert-made Rolex movements like yours on the onternet over the years and if memory serves, one or two may have been military contract watches. The shapes of the bridges, cocks, etc., are clearly Cortebert, but may have been somewhat modified for Rolex. At least one, possibly more, even carried a Cortebert calibre number. One really distinctive feature of these Cortebert calibres, not just those made for Rolex, is the curve of the balance cock, with the regulator 'pointer' similarly curved to follow the shape of the balance cock. This feature also appeared on the Hamilton grade 669 (Cortebert cal. 536) 19-ligne movements that Hamilton used for their Traffic Special I and II watches some time after WWII.
