Project watch.

Like I needed another one. But I got it for $50 and the dial is in great condition.
Balance works but sticky and main spring is bound up. 1891 is the estimated production date.

Good looking pocket watch.

I've got one (not like yours) that stopped on me years ago. I think it's a quartz, so maybe all it needs is a new batt. I need to dig it out and get it going again.

I haven't carried it in many, many years. It was a father's day gift to me when my daughters were very young.

If just the battery does not do the trick , I have cleaned and fixed a couple of quartz watches. Also , when you first put the battery in it , if it does not fire off a good flick of a finger sometimes pops them free.

Depending on the movement, an 'All-Clear' (AC) reset might be required to clear the circuit board. You can use metal tweezers, a paper clip, etc. and arc the AC- dot on the board to the positive side of the battery. That'll clear out the cobwebs and get many of them going after a fresh battery swap.
