Historical Perspectives: Your Complete Guide To The Watches Of United States Presidents
On this President’s Day, we thought we would pull together as comprehensive a list as we can of US presidential watches. We're talking all the way from Washington to Obama, from Timexes to a Patek Philippe. Some loved watches and others simply wore them out of necessity. You might be surprised with what some of our presidents had sitting in their pockets and on their wrists. We hope you enjoy it. George Washington (1st President) President Washington owned a Swiss pocketwatch by an unknown maker (later gifting it to a friend), a Jean-Antoine Lépine pocketwatch, and a James McCabe pocketwatch.Unknown Swiss Quarter Repeater Pocketwatch 2 OF 111 Photo from NAWCC. Washington acquired a gold pocketwatch with a quarter repeater (it can chime the time down to 15 minute increments), presumably in 1775, and it is believed to be of Swiss origin as the case has a Neuchâtel hallmark. On the inside movement cover is the engraving: "1775

Vintage Movements
A question for Tom, Will and/or Rene:I've seen the 920 series pocket watch movements referred to as the premier calibers in railroad grade watches of the early 1900's (1920-ish?). What would you consider premier manual wind movements in Hamilton wristwatches? What models could you find them in, and what years are they from? If it makes it easier, I'm looking for solid gold versions. I realize there may be quite a few of them to list, so please don't consider this a request for a complete catalog. Any help at all would be appreciated. One other question: I have a Storm King with a 736 18j manual wind - how does this rate - top tier, middle of the pack, or close to the bottom in quality? thanks in advance for any help!Dennis

Ladies Movado
My wife has a leather strap museum sapphire model 87-25-855. I wonder if anyone is familiar with the swiss movement in this watch? It went out for just a battery a few years ago and came back with apparently a need for major repairs. I confess I was suspicious at the time because it had been working well until the battery failed normally, so rather than pay what seemed an excessive repair bill it went into the drawer. I'm guessing many watches end up in drawers in this manner.Anyway, I recently took it out, removed the back and purchased a new battery. The movement "looks" mint inside, but one thing I noticed was that there was nothing securing the battery as I expected. It just "lays" in the cavity. Also odd was the gold or brass piece below the battery housing which seemed to have a loose screw. If anyone is familiar with this movement, should there be a "tail" or something that moves over or against the circumference of the battery? As it is now, I fail to see how voltage i
