It is remarkable to consider that Ulysses S. Grant was getting settled into the White House for his first term as U.S. President when this movement was being manufactured at the New York Watch Company factory in Springfield, Massachusetts.

This photo gallery is from a recent disassembly and study of this movement, which features the first stem-wind stem-set mechanism used in standard production within the United States. Enjoy.

    Your photos of NY watch 324 are really stunning! Great work! Did you use a macro lens for the extreme close ups? If so which one?, Again thanks for the watch “eye candy”!!
