American pocket watches are very, very well made. Circa turn of the century - look at Waltham, Elgin, etc. Aim for 15 jewels or more.

Cheers. By American pocket watches is that the country, a brand, a style?

Turn of the century I guess you mean 1900, not 2000?

Yes, something like 1880 - 1920. And USA-made. A bargain because they made so many. If buying a gold coloured case, pay attention to the number of years guaranteed for rolled gold - the longer the thicker.
