NON-MAGNETIC WATCH Co.
Geneva and America
1887-1905
The Non-Magnet Watch Co. sold and imported watches from the Swiss as well as contracted watch made in America. Geneva Non-Magnetic marked watches appear to be the oldest type of movement. This company sold a full line of watches high grade to low grade, as well as repeaters and ladies watches. An advertisement appeared in the monthly journal of “Locomotive Engineers” in 1887. The ad states that the “Pallard’s patent non-magnetic watches are uninfluenced by magnetism of electricity.” Each watch contains the Pallard’s patent non-magnetic, inoxidizable compensation balance and hairspring. Ad add in 1888 shows prices for 16 size Swiss style watches as low as $15 for 7 jewels and as high as $135 for 20 jewels.
This rare mint and all original example is a PEORIA 11j Full Plate Gilt, Lever Set, ADJUSTED, Hunting Model, Serial No. 25,270. This movement is signed: Non-Magnetic Watch Co. of America; "PALLIARD'S PATENT BALANCE and SPRING". The double sunken white porcelain dial is marked: "NON-MAGNETIC WATCH Co." with original spade hands and ROMAN figures. Short faint hairlines at 11 and 4 edge.
The example presented here is a PEORIA Watch Co. which was Modified by the Non-Magnetic Watch Co. of America; 18 size, Hunting Model, Lever Set, ADJUSTED, PALLIARD'S PATENT BALANCE & SPRING, No. 33,064. 15j 1898. Paillard's patent non-magnetic watches are uninfluenced by magnetism of electricity. And the balance has the non-magnetic inoxidizable compensation balance and hairspring. Original unsigned nickel salesman's sample presentation glass back. Clean, running and very scarce. THIS IS A FINE COLLECTIBLE. DON'T INVEST IN THE STOCK MARKET or BONDS.
