I absolutely love old well kept things. The watch is very nice, and probably a relatively common timepiece of the day. It is a far cry from our cell phones and computers where we commonly check the time in 2016.
I have a watch like that, it belonged to my grandfather and is an Elgin. I wrote to them when I was living in Canada and they sent back details of the watch and it is now 100 years old.

Good night dear friends, take care and God bless. Hugs.
Elgin was a major watchmaker, they used to sponsor an annual Christmas and Thanksgiving programs with some of the major radio and movie stars of the 1940's. A few of these are still in existence and available online.
