The Rockford Watch Case Company is most known for making the Muckle reversible case. Named "Magic Watch-Case" also called "Climax Case" it was designed and patented as a convertible case. It could be used as an open-face case or as a hunter-case. Essentially with a push of a button the spring hinged lid/cover pops open to reveal the dial also protecting the crystal.

The part of the case that holds the movement can be rotated a full 360 degrees making it all possible.

The "Magic Watch-Case" by Edward A. Muckle was patentent in Rockford, IL. on August 5, 1882 and the patent was granted on April 3, 1883.

18 size Muckle case is made of coin silver and houses an Waltham Sterling movement. Very unique and hard to come by, these cases are highly sought after by collectors.

Overall condition is amazing beautiful hand engravings all over and very little to no wear.
