A Conversion from Pendant Watch to Wristwatch

A Highly Sought After and Collectible Vintage Watch

 

 

The Sub-Seconds at 9 is always a DEAD GIVEAWAY......A Converted Pendant Watch...... To meet watch demand and profit from it Jewelry Stores would take 3/0, 4/0 and 8/0 small pendant/pocket watch movements and pair them up with cases from case makers like Illinois, Wadsworth, Anchor, Keystone, Fahys, etc.. Customers could pick out the case they liked, Match up the Dial and Hands, order the items needed and the Jeweler would Custom Build Their Watch.

 

That practice would continue up until the 1960's when Jewelry Stores would run ads encouraging customers to bring in their tired old watch and update it with a New In Style Case, Dial and Hands. This particular case is probably a 1930's case and was manufactured by the Anchor Case Company.
