Seth Thomas Rare Antique Railroad Themed Pocket Watch 8810

The Model 1 was the company's first watch, initially offered to the public in 1885. It was an 11-jewel gilt 18-size lever-set movement, able to fit into the standard cases. Herman Reinecke, master watchmaker for the new factory, designed it and was awarded two patents in 1885 for some of its components. ​Even though quick gear trains were becoming standard, Reinecke chose to make the Model 1 a slow train at 16,200 beats-per-hour. The overall plate layout was a good one, continuing with minor changes on nearly all the subsequent models.  Used with signs of wear and a missing chain loop at the crown but in excellent condition and still works perfectly. Please look closely at the pictures for all imperfections.
