South Bend pocket watch, a fine example of early 20th-century American watchmaking. The dial features bold black Arabic numerals and a subsidiary seconds register at six o’clock, with the South Bend name printed prominently at the center. Blued steel hands sweep across a clean white face, protected by a silverine case that shows gentle wear consistent with age, solid gold joints, crown, and gold reflector. Inside, the movement is marked “South Bend Watch Co. U.S.A.” and “Adjusted Temp. 4 Positions,” with 19 jewels and a double roller escapement—hallmarks of precision engineering and quality craftsmanship. The case back is stamped “Dueber Silverine, Canton, O,” confirming its durable construction and origin. This timepiece offers both mechanical integrity and historical charm, ideal for collectors seeking a well-preserved example of South Bend’s legacy. In working condition!
