Heading out the door to begin a busy week with an Illinois in an octagon case. My photography skills are weak, I can never capture blued hands! BTW the reference books are the best I've seen on the Illinois Watch Company.

I prefer in person gatherings over social media dialog and have a soft spot for vintage watches.

Love the vintage piece; the small seconds hand knocking out the 9 is 🔥 Jack.
That is one beautiful piece, Jack
So pre-1927?

I may have that WRONG! I may have looked up a similar watch but now you've given me an opportunity to dive back into those reference books. Thanks for always helping to keep the history legit!

I mean it might be. The sub-second at 9:00 indicates a small pocket watch movement (perhaps a ladies' model) turned sideways, so it could be early.
