Huge old pocket watch, runs but I am unable to set the time. Missing the window cover that makes it "dust-proof". Plan to leave as-is for the time being.
I've asked around a bit about this company and it seems to be the "Rodney Dangerfield" of pocket watch's, garnering little more than a quick glance. I love the heft/feel of this particular watch.
Beautiful!!!
Here's a great link on Keystone: http://www.pocketwatchrepair.com/histories/keystone-std.html
Your watch is what's called a side winder you know... It started out life as a hunter case movement and somewhere along the line it was re-cased as an open face watch. Great old watch! I really enjoyed seeing it...
