Illinois Bunn Special Railroad Pocket Watch

Hailed as one of the finest American railroad watches ever produced, the Illinois Bunn Special Railroad Pocket Watch is the pinnacle of the company’s achievement in precision timekeeping. It embodies exceptional engineering and craftsmanship that made the Bunn Special the preferred timepiece of railroad professionals throughout North America.

This fine 55mm example was produced in a 14K white gold-filled and engraved Keystone case. Keeping time within is the innovative 21-jewel, 60-hour motor-barrel movement, adjusted to temperature and 6 positions. The 60-hour feature offered an extended power reserve compared with the typical 40- to 42-hour watches, a significant advancement in American watchmaking. The time is displayed on a 3-piece white porcelain dial with bold black Arabic numerals, a subsidiary seconds dial at the 6 position, and blued steel spade and whip hands. And finally, this pocket watch bears a full restoration and an 18-month warranty.
