Case Serial #
Case Details This Thiery Watch Case is stamped with three of Charles Thiery's patent dates, which is quite common for these cases. Many Thiery cases have the serial number either stamped on the inside ring or the back case cover, or both.

For reasons unknown, there is no serial number on this case. One theory is that this may be due to the Thiery Watch Case Company going out of business in 1882, and this was one of the leftover cases that the company had. Or perhaps Charles Thiery stopped bothering to mark his cases when the end of the company was in sight.

Dial Details This dial type was the longest running dial variation on the Auburndale Timers. The subdial is has arrows pointing outward with squiggly stems on each. The outer indices has numbers at the 10, 20, 40, and 50 minute marks. This style dial appeared roughly around serial number 1700 or 1800 and lasted all the way until the company went out of business.

This Auburndale Timer beats in eighths of a second and has three stamped patent dates on the inside of the movement. Somewhere between serial numbers 2100-2500 these three patents dates were added. Prior to that, there was only one patent date (May 28, 1878) stamped into the inside of the movement.
