* Rarity Grade

A select group of watches have been assigned a "rarity grade" which will appear in the description heading.  The total production number of U.S. made pocket watches and vintage wristwatches are fairly well known and accessible, unlike the large and more varied output of European makers and of early horological examples.  Therefore, this simplified 1 thru 10 numerical grade is designed to assist collectors and investors in determining the scaricty of a given timepiece in todays market (#1 is considered common to #10, which is an extremely rare item).

The following factors are the basis of assigned rarity levels:

(a) Market availability, both past and present.

(b) Technical quality and innovative design.

(c) Historical importance.

(d) Condition in relationship to other examples of similar type.

(e) Artistic case design, i.e. enamel, unusual shape or form pieces.

(f) Low survival rate of similar types.

(g) Investment potential for increase in demand and price.

A rarity grade will be assigned to highlight items which offer strong investment potential (generally items of level 5 thru 10).  We hope this will assist you when making purchasing descisioins, and we encourage you to call if more information or details are needed.  1-800-424-5353.
