#5501 Rare 18K Harwood – world’s 1st Automatic watch c1928

Rare 18K Harwood - world's 1st Automatic watch c1920's
Status: Not Available – SOLD

Contact Seller

This is a rare self winding bumper movement Harwood wristwatch in 18k gold which was presented to Herbert Peck Fales of the US State Department circa 1928. The first self winding wristwatch was invented and patented in 1923 by John Harwood, a watchmaker from the Isle of Man, UK. Harwood designed the self winding watch without a wind/set crown, it is set by turning the bezel. The company was not very successful, a good idea at a bad time is one explanation, and after only a few years closed their doors in 1931 with the onset of the great depression, and having only produced 30,000 watches (very few in 18k gold cases). As is often the case some of the biggest failures of the past result in today’s rarest collectable watches. With the failure of the company, the patent expired and other companies were now free to enter the market, Rolex modified and improved the Harwood design and it was the basis of their first automatic movement.

During the first world war many small pocket watches were converted to wristwatches by soldering on lugs and adding a leather strap. These watches are commonly referred to as “transitional” or “trench” watches and are popular with collectors today. The reason for these conversions was to make the watch more accessible for timing of military maneuvers, having to pull one’s watch out of the pocket to see the time just wasn’t practical in the trenches. This Omega watch offered for sale is a recent conversion, it is an authentic Omega with signed case and movement and a refinished dial, dial is incorrectly marked automatic, watch is manual wind. The case has Continue reading “#5496 Omega “transitional” 47mm wire lug pocket watch conversion”
