Hampden Deuber Pocket Watches

Information Regarding Hampden Deuber Pocket Watches

Hampden Deuber, originally a small watch company known as Hampden, began creating pocket watches in 1876. In 1889, Hamden was bought by the Deuber Company, hence the new name. This company introduced the first 23 jewel movements in the United States. They also produced top quality watches, including railroad watches, until they went bankrupt in 1928.

** Pocket Watch Tip ** The Unitas brand of pocket watches was born in 1926, when Auguste Reymond named his movement blanks after the Unitas Watch Company he acquired. Reymond first went into business in 1898, but Unitas itself was not established until later.

After their bankruptcy, almost every last bit of the company's assets like machinery and equipment were sold or given to the Russian government to help establish the First Moscow Watch Company, which later changed its name to Poljot. The Hampden name, however was not part of this Russian transaction. It was purchased by the Clinton Watch Company of Chicago, who still have a facility in the Virgin Islands under the name Hampden.

Given that these watches haven't been produced since the 20's, you can imagine how sought after they are now. If you're seeking Hampden Deuber pocket watches, the first place you should look is antique shops and stores that carry old jewelry. You can also look in your local newspaper or pennysaver to see if anyone has one they're trying to sell. Even better if you can get a certificate of authenticity with the watch. That way, you'll know that you're investing in the real thing and not a very good replica.

** Pocket Watch Tip ** Antique braille pocket watches are in high demand not only because the blind use them, but because they are prized collectors' items as well. These watches feature raised dots at the positions of the numbers on the clock. If you're looking for an antique braille pocket watch for a gift or for your collection, look no further than the Internet.

Nonetheless, if Hampden Deuber pocket watches cannot be found in your local area, you may want to harness the power of the Internet. There are a wide variety of specialty stores and antique shops that operate totally online. You can also find Hampden Deuber pocket watches on online auction sites like Ebay and Bidville. With a little searching and some comparison shopping, you can find the perfect pocket watch that matches your budget.

Designed like most pocket watches, these antique pocket watches come with a clock on a chain that is attached to a belt loop and kept in a pocket. You can attach fobs to your pocket watch chain to add visual interest. Pocket watches can also be engraved with a name, initials, or even a personal message. These watches make excellent gifts for watch collectors and railroad enthusiasts alike.
