Jan 24, 2014 Rating Pocket Watch I need identified by: Judy Dunn We have an old pocket watch that is still in good running condition. The back opens up and is signed 'Cylindre 10 Rubis' on one side and 'L F' with a lizard or something in between the letters all within a diamond. This is at the top and there are also numbers that read '57455' with a 7 underneath the 4. There is also a small stamp that is very small and hard to make out but it looks like a helmet or a crab.
This watch is marked inside 'Remontoir cylindre & rubis'. Not sure what the face is made of Porcelain? Marks inside are 63077 serial #? 800 argent in oval mark (the silver mark) a half moon and crown with cross on top, think this might be a German mark from 1888 the last mark is an angel head and large wings. Photos by Alice Lee (photo ref:916). Westclox made their first pocket watches in 1899. Early models include The American and the Boyproof. Pocket Ben was first advertised in 1921, and was made for many years. Serial number P25713 instead of a date (they did this for several years ca. 1905 - 1908). Please contact me if you have more information on these serial numbers. Find out info, specs, and value for your antique pocket watch. We offer serial number lookups for manufacturers such as Elgin, Illinois, Waltham, and Hamilton.
I have checked other forums with no luck and I doubt that this is a really high quality watch being that it is just 10 escapement movement and not made of gold or anything but we are going to try and list it on our antique and vintage jewelry site and need to know as much as we can. Any help would be greatly appreciated and we can send pictures to whomever would be willing to help identify the piece. Thanks so much. Aug 16, 2011 Rating Any clues?

It has Roman numerals I thru XII and outside of that it has Arabic numbers 13 thru 24.
It has a second hand dial at the bottom. The back has a steam locomotive engraved on it. When that is opened, it has another silver cover that says 'Cylindre 10 Rubis'. On the inside, it has the mark '0,800' on one side.It also has the number 102732 engraved over the number 8.

Remontoir on one side, the face side says Adler Rokopf, Which makes me think it German made, also it says underneath that, Hanns Konrad Brux with Roman numerals. Can anyone help us with this? Jun 09, 2010 Rating I have one as well. By: Richard Franklin Mine has 10 jewels, blue steel bridge screws, solid silver case with the 800 grade and the crown and moon hallmark as well. The previous comment is right, this watch is made between 1900 - 1910.
Mine has the serial #24 under the face and on each bridge, which means this is a really early one but it keeps just as good time as an escapement lever movement. I have it beside my Admiral TACY pocket watch and it only gains 45 seconds a day, whereas my Admiral gains a minute per day, not bad for a 100 year old watch that's been stored in bad conditions for over 20 years.
